Tombstones
The Huguenot Cemetery and Irish Literary References
The name Du Bedat or Dubedat appears in Irish literary references, most notably in George Bernard Shaw's play The Doctor's Dilemma (1906) and James Joyce's novel Ulysses.

“John Huston said I was too handsome. It can get in the way.”
No arguments here. “The Dead” is still a fantastic movie, despite being Pierce Bronsan-less.
