Or Trip to Glasnevin Cemetery









Last week we went to Glasnevin Cemetery to look at some graves and I thought it was fantastic. My favourite grave was when I saw Daniel O'Connell's and his families' coffins. I was absolutely surprised when I was told that if you open one of his families coffins their skin and hair would be still there. We were also allowed to touch Daniel O'Connell's coffin because they say it is supposed to be good luck but I couldn't touch it because it sent shivers up my spine!

Bridget told us about a Man U player, Liam Whelan. His grave has Man U tops all over it. We went into a big Museum and Aaron saw the Ballymun flats. It was teh best trip in the school.

I saw Michael Collins' grave. His grave is always filled with flowers. On Valentines Day there was a lot of red roses on his grave. He was engaged and his fiancée found another man and married him and they had kids. She asked her husband that when she died she wanted to be buried next to Michael Collins. She was burring around seven graves away from him. We saw Eamon De Valera's grave and his families'. He spent half his life as Taoiseach of Ireland. Eamon is in the same plot as his son and he is next to all of his family.
