...so long as you can laugh, you don't have to cry....where was I?

Quote: "she learned to speak Breton and Irish Gaelic at a later date."
Comment: That statement, as accurate as I could translate it, gives me pause somewhat. Not with regards to Breton, but the Gaelic. After all, the Shea children went to Scoil Bhríde, did this school not make a point of educating Irish children IN Irish? To resume:

[quote, translated from Gaelic, ainm.ie]
...in fact she was a good speaker of French, and she spoke tolerably well in German and Italian.
She married Séamus Ó Tuama in 1945. His father was Seán Fear Ó Tuama. He was the brother of Seán Óg Ó Tuama and of Máire Ní Thuama; the latter was one of the few women who were interned from 1939 to 1945.
Séamus Ó Tuama was a talented actor in the Keating branch of the Gaelic League (gCraobh an Chéitinnigh) and in other companies. He was tragically killed on 16 January 1992. Their children were five boys and four girls.
