- (continued from previous page)In 1811 Robert Hedges Eyre, a Protestant out of respect for his fellow citizens erected a handsome wall round the cemetery and in 1852, a portion of the old Abbey lands was added, and a still more substantial wall built. Nothing more was done until 1914 when the citizens on the initiative and under the chairmanship of Mr M. McDonagh: J.P. Chairman of the Urban Council co-operated with the Augustinian Fathers in taking effective steps for the preservation and renovation of such an historic and holy spot. Already a great many improvements have been carried out and it is hoped that as the result of a Bazaar to be held in August of this year (1915) sufficient funds will be obtained to give a permanent character to the good work.
