On the first day of January 1940, Seán Ó Ríordáin started his diary, a practice he continued until the year of his death, 1977. Oí Ríordáin’s reputation is largely due to his poetry, but the diaries from him are his ability to pen is not small, which is clearly seen here as he deals artistically with a diverse range of subjects, including his own personal life. These diaries will add to the respect that Seán Ó Ríordáin has as a writer and as a wide-ranging, scoping thinker. This is the first volume in a major research project ie. to transcribe and print the Regent’s diaries.
