This headstone is one of two in a kerbed grave. Canon Donal O'Callaghan P.P. was interred in Bantry cemetery. Canon Donal was ordained at the Church of the Ascension, Cork, on 4th June, 1955. He was chaplain to the Bon Secours Hospital for one year, then appointed Dean of Farranferris. In 1957 he was appointed assistant diocesan secretary to Bishop Lucey. After the Bishop's retirement he moved to Bantry as P.P. in 1985.
