An overground tomb erected by a Listowel family three years ago to house the remains of their daughter is to be removed as part of settlement terms agreed between Listowel UDC and the family. The dispute, which was due to be heard at Tralee Circuit Court yesterday, centred on a tomb built by the Barrett family at the time of the death of their daughter Elizabeth (31), in 1994. Ms Barrett, who worked as a model in New York, had asked her family to bury her above ground on the banks of the River Feale. Listowel UDC had objected to the tomb on the grounds that the site was not a designated burial ground, planning permission was required, and the land in question was council land. A High Court Order in October 1994 prevented the family burying Ms Barrett's body in the tomb and she was later cremated. Under the settlement terms agreed yesterday, Mr Michael Barrett gave an undertaking to remove the vault from the site within four weeks. Listowel UDC will convey the freehold interest in the site to the Barrett family who will then be entitled to erect a shrine where the existing structure is located.
