Graveyard Abstract
Sigh... how do I explain this? You're looking at the elaborate grave markers of a certain subset of Irish culture that make up less than one percent of Ireland's population. Be it a wedding or a funeral, no expense is spared; nothing is too elaborate for their families. Yet, by the figures provided by their own national organisation, 84 percent are unemployed, 91 percent leave school before age 16, and while they make up .6 percent of the population, they make up 10 percent of incarcerated men in Ireland and 15 percent of the women. Hmmm... Look closely and you'll see an Audi and a Ford Transit Van, a horse box, a man riding his sulky behind a horse, along with many other items. The most unusual object I found was a stone-carved Nokia flip phone.
