História biográfica

Fr Peadar Mac Suibhne was born as Peter Swayne in 1896, near Ballon, Co. Carlow. He was educated at Knockbeg College, Clonliffe College, University College Dublin and Carlow College (1916-1920), and was ordained in 1920 for the Diocese of Kildare & Leighlin. Fr Mac Suibhne joined the staff of Knockbeg College (1920-1949), including a period as Rector (1927-1949). He then served as parish priest, Suncroft (1949-1951) and Kildare (1951- 1970), both Co. Kildare. He retired to Carlow College in 1970, where he worked on the College archives.

Fr Mac Suibhne was a keen historian and wrote or edited a number of books, including a five-volume work on the etters of Paul Cardinal Cullen, Archbishop of Dublin (1803-
1878); parish histories of Killeshin/Graiguecullen, Clonegal, Ballon and Rathangan; the 1798 Rebellion in Carlow and Kildare; St Brigid; and various works relating to Carlow College and Knockbeg College.

Âmbito e conteúdo

Correspondence (1963-70), mainly between Swayne and W. H. Milner, Portarlington, relating to a film made by Fr. Kennedy in 1921 ostensibly on the turf-cutting industry in the area, but also features the exhumation of skulls of the ‘Ballynowlart Martyrs’ who were purportedly burned alive in Ballynowlart church by English forces in the 1600s. Correspondence culminates in the deposit of the film in the National Library of Ireland.
