Jump To Comment: 1 2 3Delignted you got funds. I would like to tap some knowledge about writers from the region, now dead and gone.
Looking through archives I note that there was a writer who lived in Fanore named David Comyn. He wrote several books on the revival of the Irish language.
I am intreested because my Grandfather Michael Comyn, living circa the same time, but in Ballyvaughan was involved in the the 1928 - 36 Senate and wrote quite extensively on the Irish language and the importance of its revival. The senate reports use sources from the Galway university. As far as I am aware there is no relationship but they lived only a few miles apart.
Regards
Michelle Clarke

Dear Michelle - My sincere apologies for not getting back to you before now; I have no e-mail address for you so am answering in this post. It strikes me that information might be obtained from Senate records for the period concerned; on the other hand, there is a Kinvara Online website where this query (it could do no harm) might be posted and perhaps a result might come from there. You might also try a query to NUI, Galway. But I still think the Government records might be most helpful. Sincerely, Fred Johnston.
SO.
