''Whatever judgement people will come to hereon in on the works of Ó Rathaille and Ó Ríordáin,it would be hard fo rme to think that anyone would deny that they are two poets for whom there would be respect for their ability and professionalism in any country during any era.
Both poets struggled greatly in their lives, and as a result they had to make use of their poetic ability in order to rescue themselves from the terror which they felt.
It was a necessary tool for them both in their lives: like many great artists throughout the ages,they benefitted from it by putting a form of order on the abysmal life around them.
We should be thankful that two poets of such quality were of our breed''
