    Gaelic Biography: an Irish Experience Caint a Thug Diarmuid Breathnach in Ollscoil Ghlaschú

    Gaelic biography: an Irish experience Caint a thug Diarmuid Breathnach in Ollscoil Ghlaschú Our work in Radio Telefís Éireann’s Sound Archives more than 40 years ago made Máire Ní Mhurchú and me more aware of the general shortage of Irish biographical information and especially with regard to the previous 40 years. There have been advances since: Oxford companions to Irish history and literature … and so on. But there are still no good biographical dictionaries of movements in Ireland’s recent history: revolutionary movements, politics; labour; theatre…. No matter how excellent the Royal Irish Academy’s Dictionary of Irish Biography will be – it’s due in November - it will not fill gaps which only dedicated dictionaries can. Bernard Canning’s Irish-born secular priests in Scotland 1829-1979 is one such dictionary. They were sent to Scotland mostly because of a surfeit of clergy in Ireland but also to enable Gáidhlic-speaking priests in the lowlands to move to Gáidhlic-speaking parishes. We would see the true national dictionary as biography by county, professions, politics, minorities, sport and so on…. all shelved cheek by jowl with the Academy’s volumes. In the so-called national dictionary, with its conventional principles, many fascinating people will be omitted. A dictionary of national biography deals with the famous, the infamous and the remembered. Dedicated dictionaries focus on people in various fields of endeavour, many, if not most of them, unknown nationally. In 1979 we became aware of the Academy’s plan for an national biography. The founding in 1882 of the Gaelic Journal is often seen as the beginning of the Irish language revival.

The result is a resistant and radical form which challenges the classical and modern specificity of the genre by introducing a non-conformist, post-Joycean protagonist, whose antithetical perception of history and socio-cultural norms contradicts the conservative efforts of the post-independence Irish State.

This was to be the testing time especially for the members of the I.R.B. our gospel always had been that independence could only be won through a fight Force must be used to drive the English out of Ireland. We felt all along that the British would betray the Irish Parliamentary Party and the people in Ireland who supported that Party and the Home Rule movement. We believed, therefore, that it was our duty to step in and to organise the youth of the country for a fight which we felt must take place before the war now beginning in Europe would have come to an end.

He served the clan with distinction as a member of our executive committee and in recognition of his service was made our lifetime Honorary President in August 2013. His family originated from Benbecula where his Great Great Grandfather was the local Sheriff. Donald was a distinguished Edinburgh lawyer where he was a partner with a leading law company. He was a very enthusiastic executive committee member of the clan and gave continuous service from 2003 when he was elected on to our executive committee. He first attended a clan gathering at Tulloch Castle Hotel, Dingwall in August 2002 along with his lovely wife Eileen who also became a valued member of the clan. For those of you who were fortunate enough to meet them at clan gatherings will recall the enthusiasm and exuberance they brought to the occasion.

    Sure How Would the (Imminent) Future Ever Be After Becoming the (Recent) Past? Change in the Irish English" Be After V-Ing" Construction

    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 461 999 FL 027 148 AUTHOR McCafferty, Kevin TITLE Sure How Would the (Imminent) Future Ever Be after Becoming the (Recent) Past? Change in the Irish English "Be after V-ing" Construction. INSTITUTION Tromso Univ. (Norway). PUB DATE 2002-02-00 NOTE 32p. PUB TYPE Information Analyses (070) EDRS PRICE MF01/PCO2 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS Diachronic Linguistics; Foreign Countries; *Grammar; Grammatical Acceptability; Irish; Language Patterns; Language Usage; *Tenses (Grammar); Uncommonly Taught Languages; Writing (Composition) IDENTIFIERS *English (Irish); Ireland ABSTRACT This paper examines the written use of the "be after V-ing" construction since the reintroduction of English into Ireland. Information comes from publications beginning in 1670, including 193 works by 87 authors providing 1,316 tokens of the construction. Results support Filppula's (1999) view of historical change in the use of this construction in Irish English. The shift from prospective to perfective meanings occurred throughout the 19th century. The diachronic pattern of use that was revealed provides a link between the historical picture of Bliss'(1979) anthology and modern grammatical accounts. The construction has undergone change in a process that has passed through four stages: 17th and 18th centuries ("be after V-ing" carries mainly prospective meanings, referring to future and non-actual states); early 19th century (while use of "be after V-ing" in prospective senses remains strong, half of all occurrences are now perfect); late 19th century (perfective connotations become more common as the use of "be after V-ing" in prospective senses continues to fall); and 20th century (the construction ceases to carry prospective meanings altogether, becoming almost exclusively perfective).

    Mac Diarmada (Macdermott), Seán by Lawrence William White

    Mac Diarmada (MacDermott), Seán by Lawrence William White Mac Diarmada (MacDermott), Seán (1883–1916), republican revolutionary, was born January 1883 (baptised 29 January) in Corranmore (Laghty Barr), Kiltyclogher, Co. Leitrim, eighth child and third son among five sons and five daughters of Donald McDermott (d. 1913), a carpenter, and Mary McDermott (née McMorrow) (d. 1892), native of the nearby townland of Ardmoneen (Loughros Barr). Educated at Corracloona national school, he studied by correspondence course for a king's scholarship to train as a teacher, but twice failed the examination owing to deficiency at mathematics. After working briefly and unhappily as a gardener in Edinburgh (1904), he studied bookkeeping, shorthand, and Irish at a night school near Dowra, Co. Cavan, and was deeply influenced by his teacher's nationalism (winter 1904–5). Moving to Belfast, he worked as a tramcar conductor (1905–6), until his dismissal for smoking on a tram platform. The relentless organiser Involved for a time in the Ancient Order of Hibernians (AOH), he soon converted to militant, physical-force republicanism. Joining a Dungannon club (1905), he met members of the secret Irish Republican Brotherhood (IRB), one of whom, victim of the purge of inactive members being conducted within the organisation's Belfast circle by Bulmer Hobson (qv) and Denis McCullough (qv), recommended Mac Diarmada as his replacement. Sworn into the IRB (1906), he joined eagerly in the reinvigoration of the body's Belfast organisation. Appointed full-time organiser, with a bicycle and small salary, of the Dungannon Clubs – the open organisation founded by Hobson and McCullough to promote republicanism in Ulster – he especially sought recruits from the AOH, exacerbating the considerable ill feeling between the rival bodies.
