VISITORS FROM IRELAND and beyond have been flocking to Dublin’s Glasnevin Cemetery after watching the documentary One Million Dubliners.
The cemetery is the last resting place of the likes of Michael Collins, as well as over 1.5 million other people. The feature documentary, directed by Aoife Kelleher, went on general release in cinemas in October.
The fascinating and touching story of the history of the huge cemetery – which was built in 1832 and is the last resting place of figures from Irish history including Michael Collins – also introduced people to the late historian Shane MacThomais (pictured).
MacThomais passed away in March, just as filming was coming to an end, and his interactions with visitors and thoughts on life and death have connected with many viewers.
