Where is dermot morgans grave

Fiona says that she was lucky because Ben had a wonderful teacher who welcomed him with open arms when "we moved back to Dublin". She adds that her mum and dad were always nearby.

There were days when I would go out and come home to a lit stove in my kitchen, a basket full of logs and a full fridge. My neighbours were incredible and still are a huge source of support and company for me," she says, referring to Shay Healy and his wife Dymphna. She says she wants to stress that her family -- brother Brian, sister Grania and mum and dad -- and also her friends stopped her from "falling through the cracks" after Dermot died.

I ask her when she realised she began to lose that fear of falling through the cracks. I live very much in the now and don't tend to do 'if onlys' and 'what ifs'. I think that helps, stops me being stuck," she says.

She can remember in the period immediately after Dermot's death feeling like she was the size of a pea and the waves of grief would be like the boulder the size of a house "coming uncontrollably over me. It was that kind of powerful emotion, horrific.

There is nothing you can do about it. It's normal in those situations, but it is just huge". She dreamt that he was not dead at all. She would be walking along and a limo door would open and Dermot would tell her to get in quick, saying, "I had to disappear for a while. I had to pretend. I'll tell you all about it. Fiona's sister Grania is a psychologist and her husband Alan an analyst. I tell Fiona that last week I had seen Radiohead perform in North Carolina; and at the show I was told about an episode of Father Ted in which a sad young man of the cloth is saved from the black dog of his paranoid imaginings by Ted and Dougal, only to be sent plunging into a black hole of manic depression again when he hears Radiohead's Exit Music For A Film.

She smiles. He was writing a comedy drama. He was writing a film. He was writing a sitcom. Before he died, Dermot was going to concentrate on writing. He finally, she says, had the financial space to dedicate to his passion.

So the idea of the setting up a bursary is just to give someone a couple of months of financial space that they can write the damn thing," she says, referring to the bursary that The Dermot Morgan Foundation has recently set up. Dermot was tired, she says referring to the time of his death, but he had "so much good stuff ahead. If anything, it was an unstressful time, because his career was finally going the way he wanted.

Ted was a huge success. Was Dermot, in a sense, too driven for his own good? He had died at the age of That is incredibly young for a first -- and fatal -- heart attack. It wouldn't ever have happened. He couldn't sit still. A lot of stands-ups die very young," she says.

It is really stressful. You are standing up there on your own in front of 1, people who have all paid money [and are] saying, 'Go, on, make me laugh'. But when he was on his own with her, what was he like? He was very loving, very passionate and very romantic. He was very kind of huggy. He was just gorgeous; and his kids would have been his absolute main thing," says Fiona, referring to Ben -- whom she and Dermot had 14 years ago -- and Bobby and Don 27 and 29 years of age respectively from his marriage to Susanne Garmaltz.

Oliver Reed Bruhenny, Churchtown, Co Cork Celebrated for his off-screen drinking as much as for his filmography, the English actor lived life as though it was one long party. With his day job in the department of local government he supported a family of 10 siblings after the early death of their father. An alcoholic for much of his life, he suffered from throat cancer and died of a heart attack.

He is buried in Deansgrange with his parents and his wife. He was also extraordinarily generous and fatally attracted to alcohol — a knockout combination that meant that despite a number of starring roles, both in the ring and on the screen, he ended up dying penniless in a London hospital.

Cork Ex-Boxers Association came to the rescue and brought his body back to his native Cobh, his coffin topped by his trademark red carnation. Strongbow Christ Church, Dublin Richard de Clare, second earl of Pembroke, is notorious nowadays as the Welsh warlord who brought an invading force of Anglo-Normans into Ireland in Beside him, poignantly, lies a smaller figure, which may be one of his children.

A week later her body was discovered in a shallow grave, broken and badly burned. It was one of the most infamous of all Irish murder cases and it became a political cause celebre, with the Tory press using the killing to discredit the cause of home rule by playing on the notion of a savage Irish peasantry. Yeats sent him west to the Aran Islands; the rest is Irish literary legend.

With the six plays of his brief career as a playwright — a lymphatic sarcoma killed him at the age of 37 — Synge changed the face of Irish theatre forever. Liam Whelan Glasnevin, Dublin He was just 22, and he hated flying. The plane crashed on the return journey after a refuelling stop at Munich airport, killing Whelan and seven other United players, as well as three of the coaching staff.

Bobby Sands Milltown, Belfast Bobby Sands joined the republican movement at the age of 18, after years of intimidation and threats against him and his family. He was, briefly, MP for Fermanagh and South Tyrone, and the author of lyrics for several well-known songs, including Back Home in Derry, which has been recorded by Christy Moore, among others. He was arrested on suspicion of being involved in a bombing in the North, and died in the Maze Prison after 66 days on hunger strike.

His death, and that of nine others, focused international attention on the situation in the North. His grave is in the Jesuit plot at Glasnevin, unmarked, although his name is on a large granite crucifix nearby.

Samuel Cohen Ballybough Cemetery, Fairview, Dublin Among the Jewish immigrants who came to Ireland in the 18th century were jewellers, painters, musicians and chocolate makers. Several generations of Cohens are buried in the old Jewish cemetery at Ballybough, where their headstones feature a pair of carved hands, a traditional symbol of relationship to the biblical high priest Aaron.

Later, however, he settled in Wicklow, and he was buried opposite the entrance to the Powerscourt estate in a spot so picturesque that it might have come straight out of one of his canvases. The granite headstone marking the grave is as modest as he, apparently, was in life. After parachuting into Ballivor, Co Meath, in he lived in hiding for a year before being interned in Athlone.

In , under cover of darkness, a group of German ex-army officers exhumed his remains and reburied them in Glencree. Luckily for him he got off at Cobh before the ship sailed to its doom. Soil from each of the six counties was scattered on his coffin. He is the only person to be buried in the cathedral.

Martin Cahill Mount Jerome, Dublin For nearly two decades Cahill was suspected of being behind many of the major crimes committed in Ireland, and his trademark jokes — such as dropping his trousers to reveal a pair of Mickey Mouse boxer shorts — gained him a media profile more suited to a master chef than a master criminal. His life formed the basis for two international feature films, The General and Ordinary Decent Criminal.

The crime caught up with him in the end, and he was murdered in Born to a London-dwelling family with Kerry roots, she grew up to be one of the most kick-ass soul singers of all time.
