‘Richard Henebry was a giant figure in the Irish language movement, but is now largely and undeservedly forgotten. He was one of the founders of Ring College and studied Old and Middle Irish and Sanskrit under Professors Rudolf Thurneysen and Heinrich Zimmer. He was, too, an accomplished violinist and collected a large amount of Irish tunes. He was author of Handbook of Irish Music, which remains a standard work to this day.’ [Toman O’Duinn: Irishman’s Diary]. 

Seán Ó Cuirrín was a teacher and Irish language translator. His translation to Irish of Bram Stoker’s Dracula (published in 1933) is regarded as a landmark moment in the history of Irish language letters.
