Organise Islamic cemeteries in all counties in North of Ireland
As a Muslim revert from the North of Ireland there is only one cemetery in Belfast. With the surge of Muslim refugees and Islam a growing religion in the North of Ireland there needs to be mire gravey yard for Muslims who want to be buried closer to home.
As a Muslim revert from Newry Co-Down there are no Islamic cemeteries near by. There is a small population of Muslims here but we need somewhere to be buried. There are more Muslims reverts converting to Islam every week in the North of Ireland and with Muslims who have been born and bred in the North I'm sure they will want to be buried in their hometown rather in the capital city of Belfast.

Cemeteries are the responsibility of local councils and religious organisations, not the UK Government or Parliament.
