I recently visited the grave of Mary O’Connell, wife of Daniel O’Connell, in the beautiful cemetery on Abbey Island in Derrynane, Co Kerry.
The condition of the grave needs attention, and I wonder if there is any State body or historical group or other group which would be interested in becoming involved with remedying the situation with, of course, the permission of her descendants?
