| Description | Mac an Bheatha was one of the founding members of Glúin na Bua, a movement founded along similar lines to Conradh na Gaeilge's Craobh na hAiséirí, but independent from it. It was dedicated to spreading use of the Irish language by virtue of public meetings, organising youth groups and Gaelic events, publishing pamphlets and disseminating information in general. Having overseen its first constitution, he served as director of the Glúin for over two decades, and dealt with aspects such as membership, accounts, and correspondence, reflected in the material here.The impetus of the movement was greatly diminished even by the 1950s, and it had ceased to exist by the early 1980s. |
