A draft article titled ‘An tAthair Peadar’. The manuscript provides a short assessment of Peadar Ó Laoghaire’s contribution to Irish language literature. The text was probably compiled by Fr. Senan Moynihan OFM Cap.
Moynihan, Senan, 1900-1970, Capuchin priestA draft article on the life and work of An tAthair Peadar Ó Laoghaire. The article suggests that ‘an Athair Peadar’s Irish of the People and the autonomous verb have won the day. So, it is not alone for the quantity of his works but for the wide field in which he worked that we have to claim for an Athair Peadar that he is the “Father of Modern Irish”’. The author added ‘He was ordained in 1867, the Fenian year, and his pays his tribute to the Fenian men with the reserve of the Catholic priest reminding us that in O’Donovan Rossa’s paper there was no word of Irish …’. The article appears to be incomplete.
