点评:A whistlestop tour of modern Irish history as told through the lives of the people that made it. There are the names I expected Mícheál Ó Coileáin/Michael Collins, Éamon/Edward de Valera, Dónall Ó Conaill/Daniel O'Connell. Some new names to me, Charles Stewart Parnell (Irish Nationalist Leader), Mary Guiney(Oldest serving CEO in Ireland or England 90+, still signing accounts at 104!), James Larkin (politician), and Margaret Sheridan (opera singer) amongst others.
You’ll find out:
-why Parnell is buried on top of a cholera pit.
-Who improved the water supply to prevent cholera infection.
-Why there are two dog kennels in Dónall Ó Conaill/Daniel O'Connell’s tower.
- The cost of being buried at Glasnevin
- Stories about the political machinations behind the founding of the republic
- Notable women involved in the independence struggle
- Bad cemetery related jokes
- Why a diminutive pop princess has had part of the cemetery named after her
- The number of religions that have followers buried there (it’s more than 15)
All in an interesting visit for all the family
