What is recorded here
Castlewellan in County Down birthed Séamus Ó Néill in 1910, the year a young mind absorbed enough childhood danger to write it back at the world. He grew into an Irish writer whose novels and poems kept returning to marriage, memory and the small losses people pretend not to see. That is why his name still surfaces when Irish language and honest feeling are mentioned together.
Why this person is known: Irish writer (1910–1981)
