  • Tadgh MacSuibhne, could you post more readings on YouTube please? Más é do thoil é!

  • @Emer8008 Tadgh read this for me about six years ago. I have no other readings by him unfortunately.

  • did he end up in a care home for a period of time?

  • He was in Sarfield Court sanatorium for TB on and off. Don't think he was in a care home as such.

  • It's a fantastic piece as are many of O'Riordain's poems. He was such a brilliant poet it's difficult to understand how his house at Inniscarra where much of his work was done (and where Cul an Ti is set) is being allowed fall into ruins.

  • That was brilliant. Great poem, great rendition. Arís! More!

  • One of the few poems that has stuck with me since school. It's that good.

  • Seod gruama lofa! Thar barr!

  • Oíche Nollaig Na mBan

    Bhí fuinneamh sa stoirm a éalaigh aréir.

    Aréir oíce Nollaig na mBan,

    As gealt-teach iargúlta 'tá laistiar den ré

    Is do scréach tríd an spéir chughainn 'na gealt

    Gur ghíosc geataí comharsan mar ghogallach gé,

    Gur bhúir abhainn slaghdánach mar tharbh,

    Gur mhúchadh mo choinneal mar bhuille ar mo bhéal

    A las 'na splanc obann an fhearg

  • Ba mhaith liom go dtiocfadh an stoirm sin féin

    An oíche go mbeadsa go lag

    Ag filleadh abhaile ó rince an tsaoil

    Is solas an pheaca ag dul as,

    Go líonfaí gach neomat le liúirigh ón spéir,

    Go ndéanfaí den domhan scuaine scread,

    Is ná cloisfinn an ciúnas ag gluaiseacht fám dhéin,

    Ná inneall an ghluaisteáin ag stad.

    Seán Ó Riordáin
