There is a fine graveyard in the Galway one, which I know is well kept.

A strange controversy erupted last week regarding the Committee of Public Accounts hearing into spending at Áras an Uachtaráin, with members of the Government and the Dáil saying that the hearing would be "unconstitutional". Several interesting points have emerged from the hearing this morning, however, including details of an annual allowance of €317,000 paid to the President each year which is not subject to audit, and the fact that an audit committee set up in 2014 to monitor spending did not even meet for three years.
