Pièce 2 - An tAthair Peadar Ó Laoghaire Tribute

A 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 article appears to be incomplete.
