Seán Mac Giollarnáth

Seán Mac Giollarnáth (1880-29 January 1970) was an Irish folklorist.

A native of Coill an Bhogaigh, Gurteen, Ballinasloe, Mac Giollarnáth lived for a time in London before moving to Dublin where he taught at St. Enda's, Rathfarnham. From 1909 to 1916 he was editor of An Claidheamh Soluis. He acted as a courier for the Old I.R.A. during the Irish War of Independence. In 1923 he was appointed District Justice, which he held till he retired in 1950.

He held a lifelong interest in wildlife and folklore, which formed the basis for much of his published work. He was awarded an LL.D by the National University of Ireland in the 1960s.

gollark: <@113673208296636420> I mean, if you want a rough explanation of the functioning of it:- pages are fetched from their server- pages are parsed for text content/links in them- links are added to the crawl queue- the crawler bit goes through *those* pages if they're on a whitelisted domain- the text content is converted into tokens, and the frequency is counted, then divided by the total tokens on a page (this is "weight")- the tokens in each page are stored in the DATABASE™ (as well as the other stuff)- when a search is run, it finds any page containing the tokens in the search, and they're sorted by weight of each token within them times the frequency of that token in the DATABASE™
