There is an article about Brian O'Higgins in Wikipedia. It begins
"Brian O'Higgins (Irish: Brian Ó hUigínn; 1 July 1882 – 10 March 1963), also known as Brian na Banban, was an Irish writer, poet, soldier and politician who was a founding member of Sinn Féin and served as President of the organisation from 1931 to 1933. He was a leading figure in the Gaelic revival movement and was widely regarded for his literary abilities."

O'Higgins is also known for the greeting cards he published, with Celtic designs and self-penned verses.

He also wrote the lyrics of Moses Ri Tooral i Ay, a song about a Jewish pedlar who gets hauled into court for having writing in Irish on the side of his cart though it was actually Hebrew.
