Diarmuid Ó Gráinne (10 May 1950 – 28 August 2013) was an Irish-language writer and journalist from the County Galway Gaeltacht. He wrote for the newspaper, Lá and featured on Raidió na Gaeltachta. He released a number of books, perhaps best known works are his semi-autobiographical novel writings An Traimp and Muintir na Coille.

Ó Gráinne was strongly influenced by his fellow Connemara-man, Máirtín Ó Cadhain whose death he felt left a hole in the leadership of the Irish-language movement. Ó Gráinne also took an interest in some Continental European authors, translating writings by or autobiographies about Karl Marx, Albert Camus and Friedrich Nietzsche into Irish.

gollark: I almost always find these "do X to support cause Y" things kind of weird, because most of the time you're not (asked to be) doing anything to directly support said cause, but just getting people to give you donations to fund something related to it.

gollark: No.

gollark: My school uses MS Teams and it does mostly work okay, except that apparently they don't support Firefox properly, and it's weird and glitchy at times. Also, it uses more RAM than Discord somehow.

gollark: I wonder why they decided to make TOSLINK optical. I don't know of any other consumer fiber-optic connection things around.

gollark: The description on the Amazon page I found implies they do the opposite thing.
