Talk:Peadar Ó Doirnín/Comments

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Note a number of scholars are of the opinion that poems have been attributed to Ó Doirnín that were NOT written by him. It is thought, for instance, that Nioclás Ó Cearnaigh (1802-) wrote some of these (including 'Mná na hÉireann'), but gave the credit to the well-known Ó Doirnín in order to have them published. I intend to add a page for Ó Cearnaigh who is a controversial figure, who nevertheless, did a lot of work in the field of Gaelic scholarship when it wasn't profitable or popular.
