Belfast mum's anger after disabled child unable to use toilet at cemetery

The mother of a disabled West Belfast child says she was left feeling "gobsmacked" after learning the toilet facilities at Miltown Cemetery were closed.

Teresa Pollock took her seven-year-old Faith, to her grandmother's graveside on Thursday, on what would have been her 60th birthday. Faith was born with a missing chromosome, meaning she needs round the clock care, and uses a wheelchair.

On what was a difficult day for Teresa, who is grieving for her mum, she said it became worse when little Faith needed to use the bathroom. Teresa told Belfast Live that she was left "speechless" when she was told she could not use the facilities on site at the cemetery, as they were closed because of Covid -19.
