A printed List of Graves in Glasnevin of those who gave their lives for Ireland, 1848--1916-7, listing over 60 names,
including seven in the Patriot Plot. Oblong quarto, printed one side only, published by the National Graves’ Committee,
printed by the Gaelic Press.
Those listed in the Patriot Plot included Mrs Thomas MacDonagh, who died in a swimming accident, but not her husband

those listed here died in 1916, mostly during the Rising.
