Abstract
It is with gratitude, and in a sense of pietas, that I take this
opportunity to acknowledge the achievement of the single most
important member of the diocesan clergy, and the re were many, who
laboured pro Deo et pro patria (dochum g/6ire De agus on6ra na
hl1ireann) in the course of the last 400 years. And it is no small
testament to the influence of Seathrun Ceitinn's Foras Feasa that it
inspired a democratic inclusiveness which could be said to have
ultimately culminated in Donagh O'Malley's policy of free
education. I had intended to say more on the continuity of that
tradition, but decided instead to begin by citing what Sean 6
Rfordain wrote in his Diary some fifty years ago:'
An ghrian ag saitheadh trfd an gceo. Mise sa /eabaidh. Forus
Feasa an Cheitinnigh a leamh agam. Mairfidh cuimhne an
Cheitinnigh go brtith. Ba thionsca/ach agus ba dhflis agus ba
