BURIAL (IRELAND) ACT 1868 - SECT 4

Lord Lieutenant in Council may exempt certain churchyards.

4. And whereas many parish churches have of late years been erected on a new
site, having attached to them small churchyards given or purchased for the
sole use of persons attending the worship of the church, and in size
proportioned to the wants of the congregation, leaving the old churchyard for
the general use of the parishioners: And whereas many perpetual cures and
district parishes have been erected of late years, and churches built in them,
with small graveyards intended solely for the use of the congregations of such
churches: it shall be lawful for the Lord Lieutenant in Council, on
application from the incumbents of any such church, to declare the same to be
exempt, and which exemption shall be published in the [Belfast Gazette] and
thereupon such churchyards shall be exempted from the operation of this Act.
