A mother whose young son died suddenly of an asthma attack has hit out at plans to run a cycle path near his peaceful grave.
Susan McGarvey, 45, said she finds solace in visiting her son Callum’s final resting place at Deansgrange Cemetery in south Dublin. She has started a petition to object to the move by Dun Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council which she said is “extremely insensitive”.
Susan, from Blackrock, said she likes to spend time at the grave of Callum, who died at the age of 12, as it’s quiet and peaceful. She said that along with other families of loved-ones buried there, she is campaigning against the proposal to run an enhanced cycling infrastructure through the graveyard as part of the Deansgrange Cycle Route, proposed under the Active School Travel programme.
