Location:- Glasnevin Cemetery was consecrated and opened to the public for the first time on 21 February 1832. The first burial, that of eleven year old Michael Carey from Francis Street in Dublin, took place on the following day in a section of the cemetery known as Curran's Square. The cemetery was initially known as Prospect Cemetery, a name chosen from the townland of Prospect, which surrounded the cemetery lands. Originally covering nine acres of ground, the area of the cemetery has now grown to approximately 124 acres. This includes its expansion on the southern side of the Finglas Road with the section called St. Paul's. The option of cremation has been provided since March 1982.
Glasnevin Cemetery remains under the care of the Dublin Cemeteries Committee. The development of the cemetery is an ongoing task with major expansion and refurbishment work being carried out at the present time.

Glasnevin Cemetery in Dublin
When I visited Glasnevin Cemetery I was prepared to find the graves of Michael Collins, Eamon de Valera, Brendan Behan and Constance Markievicz. But upon entering, I was overcome with the amazing art in the stones. The stones go on forever.
With over 1.5 million graves in this cemetery that was established in 1832, the DNA of the deceased is lies under the visitor's feet. It's almost too much to take in.
So shot picture after picture ... so wanting to remember the stones of Glasnevin. Here are my favorites.

Glasnevin Cemetery (Irish: Reilig Ghlas Naíon) is a large cemetery in Glasnevin, Dublin, Ireland which opened in 1832.
It holds the graves and memorials of several notable figures, and has a museum.The cemetery is located in Glasnevin, Dublin, in two parts. The main part, with its trademark high walls and watchtowers, is located on one side of the road from Finglas to the city centre, while the other part, St. Paul's, is located across the road and beyond a green space, between two railway lines.
A gateway into the National Botanic Gardens adjacent to the cemetery was reopened in recent years.The cemetery contains historically notable monuments and the graves of many of Ireland's most prominent national figures.
The high wall with watch-towers surrounding the main part of the cemetery was built to deter bodysnatchers, who were active in Dublin in the 18th and early 19th centuries. The watchmen also had a pack of blood-hounds who roamed the cemetery at night.
The documentary One Million Dubliners was released in 2014, featuring stories about the history and operation of the cemetery.
