Ó Suilleabháin (1932-85) was widely regarded by his contemporaries as a literary giant and one of the most innovative Irish-language authors to emerge in the 1960s. For many fans of the genre, when Máirtín Ó Cadhain died in 1970, the mantle of the greatest writer of Irish prose fell on the shoulders of Diarmaid Ó Súilleabháin, who was a native of Bearra, West Cork, but who adopted Gorey as his homeplace and worked as a primary teacher in the CBS. Impressively, Ó Súilleabháin managed to win more literary prizes than any other living Irish author. He was also a prominent republican and a member of Sinn Féin’s ruling body, specialising in the area of publicity in the republican struggle. http://www.independent.ie/regionals/goreyguardian/out-about/poetry-collection-published-28-years-after-author-died-29494219.html
