Sean DOYLE was at the burning of the Custom House. He was killed by machine fire as he tried to escape. I am trying to locate which cemetery he is buried in before I go to Ireland in August.
He was the brother of Patrick DOYLE executed 14 Mar 1921, one of the Forgotten Ten, and I know where he is now buried.
Thanks in advance for any help at all.

there is a burial in glasnevin ,standard grave, for a sean doyle age 31 in 1921 but without any further info re address its impossible to know if its him. perhaps if you purchased his death cert for date given on other sites 25 may 1921 it may help to narrow it down.

Sean Doyle is buried in the Irish Army plot in Glasnevin Cemetery. The plot is beside the reception. The Michael Collins cross is surrounded by stones set at ground level, you can see an image of the inscription on my website irishmedals.org.
