St. Finbarr's Cemetery

St. Finbarr's Cemetery on the Glasheen Road holds Jack Lynch, the former Taoiseach, beside ordinary Cork families, proving that even the highest chair returns to the same dark soil. The small stream beneath Glasheen Road still runs past graves marked for politicians, mothers and children, reminding visitors that rank dissolves before water and time. To walk its paths is to hear the city breathe through dead men, their names scraped smooth by rain while the living argue on above.
