Life

He was born in Skreen, County Sligo, and was a relative of the scholar Owen Connellan. He started a school of his own, but had more success when he became principal of a school established by Albert Blest, a Baptist, in Greenville, Coolaney, in the early 1800s. Like his relative Owen he left the Catholic church and embraced Protestantism. Among other works he produced an Irish-English dictionary and edited a series of song-books.[1][2]

He died at Sligo, on 25 July 1854.[3]

gollark: I should probably ask on r/archlinux or something.
gollark: I would suspect it being a distro thing, but I have multiMC installed from the AUR and recompiling it didn't help.
