- On 30th June 1890 the family of James O'Connor were tragically poisoned and died from eating tainted mussels they had harvested from a pond in their back garden at Seapoint Avenue. His daughter Mary (Moya) would be the only survivor; she would later tell a story that she was naughty and was sent to bed without any supper and that's what had saved her life (this was untrue).

Sad story. Glasnevin cemetery is beautiful. Thanks for sharing 👍
Next time you're in Dublin I'll bring you around Glasnevin to see all your relatives and show you a few of the interesting burials.
Lovely. I've never done the tour. Have you?
No I have not, but I've been there plenty of times and know the layout.
