👏🍀💚Clár faisnéise iontach arís, mar is gnáth/Another wonderful presentation, as usual Eoghan/Eugene. FYI, T J Kiernan was ÉIRE's/Ireland's first Ambassador to Australia (where I reside) as far as I understand.
I don't think that Kavanagh just set his poem to Fáinne Geal an Lae. His poem is a modern urban recreation of the older folk song. The elusive lover disappearing in the final verse. That is the basic motif of the Aisling genre. That is not to detract in any way from another excellently researched documentary.
Correct. PK wrote a POEM ('On Raglan Road') regarding the object of his unrequited love (Medical Student from County Kerry Hilda Moriarty later married to the visionary Minister for Education Donough O'Malley of Limerick City who died prematurely in his '4o's). The poem was 'married' to Air 'Fáinne Geal an Lae/The Dawning Of The Day', made unmistakably associated with the inimitable Dubliner Luke Kelly.
