Proinsias O'Rathaille reads the famous poem by W.B. Yeats "The O'Rahilly" on Moore Street, where he died in the 1916 Easter Rising. His mother Bridie Clyne and Neil O'Rahilly were very happy that he came out of a so called retirement, as he hadn't written for years, to for once and for all clarify why O'Rahilly placed the, THE, in front of his name and backed him 100% in doing so. The Yeats family also had a house next to his family in the early 1960s in Connemara at Carrarroe. Filmed and edited by Marcus Howard.
