Up to 40 graves were vandalised and the children's area at the cemetery was also wrecked, last month.
Decorations on graves and headstones were reduced to a pile of mangled crosses, flowers and toys.
Police said a 43-year-old woman appeared in court today charged with intentional damage.
They said it was a great relief for the families of those buried at the cemetery, who have been devastated by what took place.
The woman was due to appear in court again next month.
