Now I am trying to look up some of the names in the name-dropping sequences, as quoted above in their original Gaelic.

"Cháit Nic Dhonncha"

When she is mentioned elsewhere online, her name is given as Cáit Ní Dhonnchada. It seems she is neither singer nor musician. Little is said about her online, which only means that documentation of her career is in other places. If it is the person I believe it to be, then this is a woman considerably older than Máire Ní Scolaí, as in, old enough to be her mother at least. Ní Dhonnchada is described as a specialist and enthusiast in/for the Gaelic language, in which she wrote dispatches that were published in journals. She had an extremely negative opinion of playwright Synge, and in this, it seems, she had lots of company at the time.

"Liam Mhic Fhlanncha"

is this really Liam Clancy? of the Clancy brothers? I thought Liam Clancy a bit young to be part of this group. Well, if the name is a common one....
