Matt Carolan in a recent email says – “I liked the story that lady in New Zeland told you; that’s exactly what went in the Ireland of the eighteen hundreds; I guess we are lucky we left later; I contacted Anna Ryan if she could get some local people and compile all the inscriptions in Moybolgue cemetery and put them on the web like she did with Moynalty and the old cemetery in Mullagh; …….. told her I will gladly help finance it ……….. it would be nice to remember all the old folks we knew interred there …… I don’t believe that’s finnegan’s (Finegan’s) pub as far as I remember (Refer to photos posted on Blog June 6, 2010) .. “
