The burial of Frank Stagg caused controversy in Ireland, with republicans seeking to have Stagg buried in the republican plot in Ballina as was the wish of Frank Stagg, while the Irish government and some members of the Stagg family including Emmet Stagg, wished to have him buried in the family plot in the same cemetery and to avoid republican involvement in the funeral. As the family of Stagg waited at Dublin Airport for the body, the British Government ordered the flight to be diverted to Shannon Airport. It was here that his body was brought to Ballina and buried near the family plot. In order to prevent the body being disinterred and reburied by republicans in accordance to the wishes of the dead man, the grave was covered with concrete. In November 1976, a group of republicans tunnelled under the concrete to recover the coffin under cover of darkness and reburied it in the republican plot.
