The story goes that gravediggers in Glasnevin cemetery used to have a pint of stout on their breaks when they were working, and that they were served through a hatch in the wall at the back of Kavanagh’s pub (known as The Gravediggers).
A video from 1974 dispels this myth and shows that the gravediggers do in fact tap 3 times on the wall with a brick and the barman brings the pints out of the pub and passes them through the railing separating the square at the front of the pub and the graveyard.
So, any time someone tries to tell how there used to be a hatch directly into the graveyard, you can show them this video.
