A special meeting was held to address the issue last week.
A midlands graveyard will see a heavier Garda presence in a bid to prevent vandalism at the site.
Additional patrols are among the measures being planned following the recent vandalism of graves at Portlaoise Cemetery.
At a Special Meeting of the Portlaoise Municipal District last week, Councillors and Gardaí also discussed the prospect of installing CCTV and extra lighting at the site.
A forensic investigation is also being carried out.
Fine Gael Councillor Thomisina Connell says what happened was a disgrace:
