Just visited this old Graveyard in September, searching for Kearney/Reilly family but couldn't even walk around with the grass/weeds so high, there are lots of Headstones. I did send a message to Fingal re: the upkeep as a new housing estate is just being built beside it. I note there is a least one famous person "Austin Cooper" buried in it and who has a family vault in the old church ruins.

Beautiful photo Rita. We have a similar situation in an old graveyard beside us - nature tends to take over during the summer and things are a little more visible during winter when the grass dies back. Would be interested to know if you hear back from Fingal, I assume it was the County Council you contacted?

Thanks Clare,
Think it has been like that a few years as according to genealogy Dublin FB site a nice young man had photo's of it in 2009 when it was easy to walk around. Haven't heard anything back from Fingal.ie but I have a nice persons name that I will try as after a long time the same was happening to St. Marnock's Portmarnock where I have a Grandfather Tierney & family but now it's lovely and tidy with easy access. Thanks Rita
