Joint Oireachtas Committee on Environment, Culture and the Gaeltacht

Policy Issues arising from Cemetery Management Bill 2013: Discussion

2:00 pm

Mr. David Pierce:

I will begin by responding to something Deputy Regina Doherty said. I received a phone call from the registrar to say I had been seen by the chief executive and I was not to be there anymore. I asked him to put that in writing but he refused to do so. When I was told about the photography a few weeks later, I asked them to put that in writing also but they refused to do so. Any time they do something to us, they refuse to put it in writing. Since that day, myself and other sculptors - I spoke to representatives of Farrell's of Glasnevin last week - have not been allowed to meet potential clients in our local cemeteries. At times, we are shadowed by workers from the Dublin Cemeteries Committee to make sure we do not talk to people. Would it be possible for me to ask Ms Goggin a question?
