| Description: | Folder 1 contains papers, letters and newspaper clippings relating to Ó Ceallaigh’s radio series of his early life and the independent movement. The talks were afterwards translated into Irish and published as Seán T. (1963). Several letters are from Frank MacManus, General Features Officer at Radio Éireann. Other correspondents of note are Pádraig de Brún; F.X. Martin, who questions the accuracy of some of Ó Ceallaigh’s accounts; and Frank Thornton, who gives an outline of events in Cork and the discussions he had with Michael Collins from the 14 to 18 August 1922. Some letters and notes are written in Irish. Folders 2-7 contain drafts of Ó Ceallaigh’s memoirs for radio and the Irish press. These memoirs mostly deal with events up to and after Easter 1916 including his time in Wandsworth, Woking and Reading prisons. Also includes a lecture by Ó Ceallaigh at Craobh na Feinne, 1930, entitled ‘Some experiences of an Irish Republican Envoy’. Folder 8 is comprised of biographical notes on Ó Ceallaigh, including details on his early life. Most are by unknown authors but one article ‘Seán T. O’ Kelly President of Ireland a profile’ was written by Kees van Hoek. |
