RTÉ News reports on the deaths of celebrated Irish poets Brendan Kennelly and Máire Mhac an tSaoi.
Kennelly, a native of Ballylongford in County Kerry, spent many years as Professor of Modern Literature at Trinity College in Dublin and was also a popular broadcaster, making frequent appearances on both radio and television. His only child, a daughter named Kristen, nicknamed "Doodle", who also became a writer, passed away unexpectedly aged 51 at her Dublin home on 18th April 2021, one day after her father's 85th birthday, and less than six months before his own death.
Mhac an tSaoi, considered by many to be one of the greatest Irish language poets ever, was born in Dublin just two months before the outbreak of the Irish Civil War, and was the daughter of former Fianna Fáil TD, Táiniste and Irish independence hero Seán MacEntee. Mhac an tSaoi, who spent most of her childhood in Dunquin in the Kerry Gaeltacht, was married to politican, writer and historian Conor Cruise O'Brien from 1962 until his death in 2008. She died less than six months before she would have celebrated her 100th birthday.
R.I.P. Brendan Kennelly (1936-2021) and Máire Mhac an tSaoi (1922-2021)
