From the Irish Press, 12 June 1933...

MATT TALBOT CROWDS FLOCK TO GRAVE OF DUBLIN WORKER The grave of Matt Talbot in Glasnevin Cemetery, Dublin, became a bed of flowers yesterday evening and over 300 petitions were placed in the wooden box over it, after thousands had visited it in honour of the eighth anniversary of this Dublin workingman's death, on Trinity Sunday, 1925. Among the pilgrims were a Maltese, a Dutchman, and a number of Americans. A large number also came from the Immaculate Conception Sodality, at St. Francis Xavier's, Gardiner Street, to which Matt Talbot belonged for forty years. The petitions will be taken out and sent to the diocesan court, which is collecting the evidence for the introduction in Rome of the Cause of this Servant of God. Mrs. Andrews, sister of Matt Talbot, was present with a number of other relatives. The rosary was recited during the evening. One of Matt Talbot's fellow members of the sodality told an IRISH PRESS representative that since the diocesan court began its proceedings the numbers visiting the grave every day in the week and particularly on Sundays had grown immensely. His fame was spreading far and wide.

Is he still in Glasnevin or were his remains moved to an inner city church near Croke Park?

DannyM8 Looks like he's had three resting places: He was originally buried in a poorer part of Glasnevin Cemetery before being moved to the vault where Fr.Gentili was buried. The coffin was moved in 1972 and the remains now rest in Our Lady of Lourdes Church, Sean MacDermott St., Dublin.

so...is he a saint?

Augusta Godenot I think he's a 'Blessed'. Good to see Flickr back up – I've been getting Bad Panda all day!

Hmmm - Wikipedia is unsure - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Emmet#Burial

Percy Bysshe Shelley in 1812 "On Robert Emmet’s Grave." 6. No trump tells thy virtues — the grave where they rest With thy dust shall remain unpolluted by fame, Till thy foes, by the world and by fortune caressed, Shall pass like a mist from the light of thy name. 7. When the storm-cloud that lowers o’er the day-beam is gone, Unchanged, unextinguished its life-spring will shine; When Erin has ceased with their memory to groan, She will smile through the tears of revival on thine.

"... The crypt [of St Michan's] also holds the coffins of the Sheare brothers who were executed by the British – and as was discovered recently drawn and quartered as well – for the Rising of 1798, as well as mathematician William Rowan Hamilton, the many Earls of Kenmare, and supposedly – though others claim him too – the remains of Robert Emmet, the Irish rebel killed by the British in 1803.

Unless the Kataloguers went Krazy again, I'd say the note on verso says Nora Dore at John Daly's grave

After the rising, from RTE After the surrender on 29 April Eamon Dore and a number of his colleagues were brought to the Parnell Statue and held there. Later that evening Dore saw his friend Edward Daly, Commandant of the Four Courts garrison lead his men up O’Connell Street.

So Dore was friends with Edward Daly. John Daly was Edward's uncle, and a very longtime IRB organiser. He died later in 1916.

There is an interview with Dore at RTE. From the accompanying text:


As soon as he heard the Rising was on, he made his way to Dublin and managed to get into the GPO. Dore was ordered by MacDiarmada to escort the Daly sisters to Kingsbridge (Heuston) Station. The sister were to bring word to Cork and Limerick that the Rising had begun. He got the girls safely away but when returning to the GPO he noticed a large number of British troops in the area surrounding O'Connell Street.

...

He married Nora Daly in 1918, whom he had brought safely to Kingsbridge Station during the Rising. Eamon Dore died in 1972, he was seventy-six years old.

Niall McAuley Great minds etc.

So Nora Dore was née Daly, presumaby a niece of the deceased.
