in Dublin's Merrion Row. Death McKenna died unexpectedly on the morning of 5 April 2012 after collapsing in the kitchen of his home in Howth, Co. Dublin. He was buried at St Loman's Cemetery in Trim, County Meath, on 9 April 2012. At first it was unclear whether The Dubliners would continue their 50th Anniversary Tour in the wake of McKenna's death. However they soon confirmed that they would "do their best to honour all the concert dates for the rest of the year [2012]".
