Notes: | Conradh na Gaeilge (Gaelic League) was founded in 1893 with Douglas Hyde as its first president. The first aim of the League was to maintain the language in the Gaeltacht, the largely western districts in which spoken Irish survived. The League's first newspaper was 'An Claidheamh Soluis' ('The Sword of Light') and its most noted editor was Pádraig Pearse. The motto of the League was "Sinn Féin, Sinn Féin amháin" ("Ourselves, Ourselves alone"). |
