Dr Dermot Lynch initially explains that his earliest memory relates to a time in the early 1930s at his home in Dublin. His paternal grandmother, Ellie M. McCarthy, was born in 1853 and she was in her 80s during Dermot’s childhood. His grandfather was Finian Lynch, who was born in 1849. He and his wife Ellie were master and mistress of Kilmakeran National School in Kerry, and Dermot recalls the controversy associated with their move to the school. The couple had 11 children and Dermot’s father Fionán, who was born on 17th March 1889, was the seventh child and the fourth boy. Dermot names his aunts and uncles and talks about their lives. He also explains that his mother was Brigid Slattery from Tralee. Fionán’s father died around the time he finished school, so he could not attend university to study medicine. In 1911 he qualified as a teacher from St Patrick’s College in Dublin, having previously been awarded a B.A. in Celtic Studies from UCD. Dermot recounts an anecdote relating to the oral Irish examiner. Fionán stayed with his aunt during this time and he met his life-long friend, Gearóid O’Sullivan, in Dublin. He taught Irish in Swansea in South Wales prior to his qualification. On his return to teach in Dublin, Fionán and Gearóid O’Sullivan joined the Gaelic League in 1912, where they met Seán MacDermott and Tom Clarke, who ran a tobacconist shop at Rutland Square (now Parnell Square). They also met Arthur Griffith at this time. Dermot says that Tom Clarke favoured armed struggle while Seán MacDermott was between Clarke and Griffith politically. Tom Clarke was chairman of the Keating Branch with Cathal Brugha as president. Piaras Beaslaí was a senior member of the branch. Dermot remembers his father talking about Tom Clarke and his shop, but explains that most of what he knows he did not pick up directly from his parents. The Irish language was very important to Fionán, though his wife Brigid did not speak Irish and the language was not spoken in the house. Der
