FLANN O'BRIEN
 Rugadh
an t-údar agus iriseoir Briain Ó Nualláin sa tSrath
Bán i gContae Thír Eoghain in 1911. Ar na hainmneacha cleite
a thug sé air féín mar scríbhneoir tá
Flann O’Brien agus Myles na gCopaleen, agus mar a léirigh
sé sna leabhair ‘At-Swim-Two-Birds’, ‘The Third
Policeman’ agus ‘An Béal Bocht,’ bhí sé
de chumas aige scríobh trí mheán na Gaeilge agus
Béarla leis an líofacht agus an ghreann ceannann chéanna.
Daichead bliain i ndiaidh don Nuallánach bás a fháil,
labhraíonn an file Louis de Paor faoi saol agus saothar s'aige.
The author and journalist Brian O'Nolan was born in Strabane, Co. Tyrone
in 1911. Under pen names like Flann O'Brien and Myles na gCopaleen, he
went on to produce books of the calibre of 'At-Swim-Two-Birds,' 'The Third
Policeman' and 'An Béal Bocht,' demonstrating a talent that was
equally at home in both Irish and English. Forty years after his death,
the poet Louis de Paor pays tribute to Flann O'Brien.
