[edit] Ernie O'Malley's Papers
Only the "national"-related papers were donated to University College Dublin rchives in 1974 by Ernie O'Malley's son, Cormac. Cormac retains the bulk of the remainder of his personal papers, poetry, and some manuscripts in his New York residence and can be reached at comlaw@inch.com

I believe name changes such as this are an important part of Irish Republicanism, though most attention has been paid to those who Gaelicise their name, not enough attention has been given to those who those who attempt to alter their anglicised names.
