That’s sad about Byrne’s fate, you’d have thought that the church might have looked after their old architect after such a lifetime of service.

I can’t still get my head round the idea that Patrick Byrne, who worked so diligently for the Catholic Church for all those years, designing & most likely back then overseeing the construction of over twenty or so wonderful church buildings, was basically overlooked & forgotten by them when he died, & then was buried without a gravestone of any description, in a cemetery he designed. . .For them !

Being that he was also vice-president of the Royal Institute of the Architects of Ireland from 1852 until his death in 1864. . They should not also maybe consider getting their finger out to right themselves by doing something befitting for his memory at the unmarked plot XA34 in Glasnevin.

What might be the best way to begin a campaign & bring this issue to the attention of both these amnesiacal organizations ?
