Interactive website promotes historic cemetery

A VOLUNTEER group has developed an interactive website mapping the graves of some of the most famous people buried in Cork’s historic St Finbarr’s Cemetery.

The Friends of St Finbarr’s, which was established in August 2010 to help maintain the burial ground, launched the new Google map venture yesterday.

They have researched and mapped 100 individual graves, allowing people to click on a blue icon to read the descriptions of the individual graves.
