Goldenbridge Cemetery, Thursday 19th June - Saturday 28th June

Goldenbridge Cemetery is Ireland's first garden cemetery and was founded by ‘the Liberator’ Daniel O’Connell almost 200 years ago.

Visitors will be guided through this unspoilt cemetery and learn about its unique history, including the vaults, the armed guards, the Cuban bloodhounds, the body snatchers and the people buried in the historically significant and interesting graves within its walls.

You will hear the stories of two former Taoisigh and their family member Vol. Thomas Burke killed in action in the Easter Rebellion. A new stone has been erected over Eugene Lynch killed by in 1916, aged eight years. We will visit the resting place of a rebel priest of 1798 and Doctor Bob Kenny who befriended Parnell and James Joyce.
