Darach Ó Séaghdha

Rathfarnham, County Dublin, is the birthplace of Darach Ó Séaghdha, the writer who turned a personal language loss into a public treasure hunt. His father spoke Irish at home but English to his children, creating a quiet gap that Darach later filled by teaching others to hear the music hidden in ordinary words. The suburb did not need a monument because it produced a man still making the language breathe.
