So Once Was I with Warren Farrell

From unmarked plots to striking monuments, Glasnevin Cemetery has become the final resting place to a microcosm of Irish society since it opened its gates in 1832. Every grave has a story to tell, but with more than a million souls resting there, many have been forgotten.


Join author Warren Farrell as he tells us some of the fascinating stories behind some of the more unusual graves.

 

 

Warren Farrell, from Inchicore, Dublin, is a first-time author with a passion for social history.  A Maynooth University graduate in Politics and History, he furthered his education with a Masters in Secondary School Education. He has since shared his love of history and politics with many students in Dublin as a secondary school teacher. Warren is now a coordinator for Trinity Access Programmes at Trinity College, where he works with students from disadvantaged backgrounds to help them achieve their college aspirations and to try to ensure greater equity in access to higher education. Since January 2016, Warren has also worked as a tour guide in Glasnevin Cemetery, where he takes great pride in being able to share the stories of people who have shaped Ireland’s history over the last two centuries.
