    You may need to download the OSI free viewer to explore the online interactive maps, it is available on their homepage.

    Tutorial on how to use it here.

    I might have mentioned it before. when the station was being built circa 1957 ladders started falling down mysteriously and other objects started moving about by themselves.

    Does anyone have information on Bolands Land in the Dr Mannix Road/ Glenard area of Salthill... it was the site of a cemetery, two wealthy sisters owned most of the land in this area and part of this was a cemetery apparently known as Boland's Cemetery, I know of the one in Lenaboy its not that..... any info would be great thanks

    I think the one you are referring to is the graveyard for the dominican nuns, i grew up beside the Ardilaun, i remember the Boland sisters, but never heard anything about a graveyard.

    There is also a cemetery in the grounds of the hospital (St. Brigids?) in Prospect Hill which is now part of the County Buildings. I think it was used as a childrens burial ground.
    There is also one at the rear of the Magdalene Asylum as well as graves of women from the Asylum in the New Cemetery in Bohermore.
    As far as I know, Rahoon Cemetery is the one on the left going up the hill. The new cemetery in Rahoon is, I think, called St. Josephs Cemetery.
    There is also a cemetery at the rear of the Methodist Church in Victoria Place as well as at St. Nicholas Collegiate Church.
    Is there one at the Presbyterian Church (now an arts centre I think?) at Nun's Island?
    And is there one at the Poor Clares Monastery in Nun's Island?
    Think there was also one at Joyce's House, later Royal Tara, in Mervue as well as St. James.
    Also I think there was one at the Redemptorist Monastery, now part of GMIT at Wellpark.

    That stirs a memory... have just skimmed the thread, but has St James cemetery in Michael Collins Road been mentioned?

    Bit of a write up here...

    Edit: Seems it has. Just 2 posts above :)
