A class of non-static solutions around a global monopole, resulting from the breaking of a global SO(3) symmetry based on Lyra geometry, are obtained. The solutions are derived using the functional separability of the metric coefficients. We have shown that the monopole exerts attractive gravitational effects on test particles.
