Local man Paddy Carroll from Kildare Town has described the situation as "a disgrace".

He said it is "disrespectful to the dead" and distressing for families visiting loved ones’ graves.

The images show discarded bags and litter spread through overgrown areas of the cemetery, close to burial plots.

Grey Abbey Cemetery also includes a Republican plot.

Questions are now being asked about responsibility for removing the dumped material and preventing further incidents.
