Donnybrook Cemetery

The archway serves as a plaque and reads, This memorial has been erected by the members of the Dublin Stock Exchange to the late Thomas Chamney Searight for many years the registrar to their society.

[1] In 1879 the discovery of the remains of 600 people was made at a mound on Ailesbury Road which dated back to a bloody massacre by the Danes in the 9th to 10th century.

In addition to the restoration works which lasted three years the committee also compiled a comprehensive list of burials and published a number of historical accounts of the Cemetery.

In 1988 the work of the staff and Committee was marked with a visit and unveiling of a new Information case and noticeboard by then Lord Mayor of Dublin Carmencita Hedderman.

The 1st Earl of Tyrconnell and 2nd Viscount FitzWilliam was buried under a tomb of black marble in the family chapel with the inscription,[1] Here lyeth the Body of the Right Honourable And most Noble LORD OLIVER, Earl of Tyrconell, lord Viscount FITZ_WILLIAMS, or Meryonge, Baron of Thorn-Castle, who died at his House in Meryong April 11th 1667, and was Buried the 12th day of the same month.
