Has the original query been answered, or do you want me to pop up to Knockbreda cemetery and take a look?  Not today because I'm feeling under the weather, but I don't have the patience to be ill so am determined to get better.

I imagine the attendant's office will be closed, but in any case I don't think they keep the books on the premises any more.

Can't find the link now but remember reading something this past week about people being discouraged from walking in cemeteries at the moment...
Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!

I can understand that if there have been recent burials.
I thought Knockbreda has had no new burials for quite a while, but may be wrong.
Presumably there'll be notices on the gates if they want to discourage us from going in.

It's nothing to do with burials. The other day Derry City Cemetery said walkers but no cars then they said no walkers. Belfast Cemeteries are closed to public at the moment- here's their page for Knockbreda-

Coronavirus update
In line with emergency legislation, our cemeteries are closed to the public, sculptors and contractors. Access is only allowed for funeral corteges.
