Where is he buried?

I was in Ireland last week, on another family history jaunt. My distant cousin Patrick took me to met a distant connection (her grandmother's sister had married a Donohoe cousin of my g g'father). She had a lot of old photos of Donohoes, which were marvellous. I had been introduced to her as someone who knows everything (silly thing to say, of course) and she immediately confounded me by asking "Where was Myles buried?" Neither Patrick nor I knew, and he is no mean local historian himself.
So has anyone got access to Irish Newspapers and can someone find a report of his funeral? He was well-known in the area so he might also have an obit.
He was Myles or Miles Donohoe. He often used the middle initial M. He died on 29th December 1935 at his home, Castle Talbot, Blackwater, County Wexford.
I'd be a very happy bunny if he could be found! Thanks to anyone who tries.

Haven't found his burial but on FMP and familysearch his surname is entered as O'Donoghue in the parish of Enniscorthy, County Wexford
with a date of death registration of April 1935

Name Myles Michael O'Donoghue
Age 73 years
Birth Year (Estimated) 1862
Event Type Death Registration

Unless of course it is a different person!
 
Although this appeared in the papers:-

The New Ross Standard - Friday January 24, 1936
Sympathy
Poulfour branch of the Gaelic League passed a vote of sympathy to Myles O'Donoghue, of Dungulph Castle, a member of the Gealic League on the death of his fatther, the late Mr. M. M. O'Donoghue, Castle Talbot, Blackwater.
 
Thank you Chimp. That's definitely him. "Donohoe" is very subject to spelling variations. That little piece from the New Ross Standard about his son is enlightening. It was actually in Dungulph Castle last week that I was asked the question ! I don't think anyone knew Myles jr. had lived there with his aunt, even if only briefly. The Gaelic League was about promoting the use of the Irish language.
