| - Liam Ó Briain (16 September 1888 – 12 August 1974) was an Irish language expert and political activist. Born in North Wall, Dublin as William O'Brien, he took an interest in the Irish language from an early age and while still at the O'Connell School started using the Irish version of his name. He also attended meetings of the Gaelic League, then attended University College Dublin (UCD) on a scholarship, where he studied French, English and Irish, receiving a BA and an MA. UCD decided to start awarding one annual scholarship for overseas travel in 1911, and Ó Briain won the first one, using it to visit Germany and study under Kuno Meyer and Rudolf Thurneysen. After three years, he returned home, where he rejoined the Gaelic League and began teaching French at UCD. He also joined the Irish Volunteers then, the following year, Seán T. O'Kelly convinced him to join the Irish Republican Brotherhood. During the Easter Rising, Ó Briain saw action with the Irish Citizen Army. He came into conflict with his commander, Michael Mallin, as he wanted to pursue a strategy without the Dublin brigade being "cooped up in the city". However, Mallin overruled him and insisted they should focus on taking Dublin Castle. He spent two months in prison and six at an internment camp before being released to discover that he had been fired from his job, but quickly obtained a professorship in Romance languages at University College Galway (UCG). Around this time, Ó Briain joined Sinn Féin, and he stood unsuccessfully for the party in Mid Armagh at the 1918 Irish general election, taking 5,689 votes. His campaign led, indirectly, to another prison sentence. On release, he was appointed as a judge in the then-illegal republican court system, and visited both France and Italy to try to source weapons for the Irish Republican Army. In November 1920, he was again arrested and interned for just over a year, thereby missing the conclusion of the Irish War of Independence. By the time he was released, the Anglo-Irish Treaty had been signed; he supported this, and took no further part in militant activity. In the newly independent Ireland, Ó Briain remained a professor at Galway. He also stood in the 1925 Irish Seanad election, although he was not successful. He was the founding secretary of the Taibhdhearc na Gaillimhe theatre, also acting in many of its productions, and spent much time translating works from English and the Romance languages into Irish. He stood to become president of UCG in 1945, but was not elected, and in the 1940s and 1950s was best known for his many appearances on television and radio. On 1 September 1921 he married Helen Lawlor. The couple's only child was the journalist Eibhlín Ní Bhriain. (en)
- Saineolaí Gaeilge agus gníomhaí polaitíochta ab ea Liam Ó Briain (16 Meán Fómhair 1888 – 12 Lúnasa 1974). Rugadh sa Phort Thuaidh, Baile Átha Cliath é mar William O’Brien. Chuir sé spéis sa Ghaeilge nuair a bhí sé óg, agus thosaigh sé ag baint úsáide as an leagan Gaeilge dá ainm le linn dó a bheith i Scoil Uí Chonaill. D’fhreastail sé freisin ar chruinnithe de chuid Chonradh na Gaeilge, ansin d’fhreastail sé ar an gColáiste Ollscoile, Baile Átha Cliath ar scoláireacht, áit a ndearna sé staidéar ar an bhFraincis, Béarla agus Gaeilge. Sa bhliain 1911, thionscain UCD scoláireacht nua bhliantúil le haghaidh thaistil thar lear, agus ghnóthaigh Ó Briain an chéad cheann. D'úsáid sé an scoláireacht chun cuairt a thabhairt ar an nGearmáin agus staidéar a dhéanamh le Kuno Meyer agus Rudolf Thurneysen. Tar éis trí bliana, d’fhill sé abhaile, chuaigh sé isteach i gConradh na Gaeilge arís, agus thosaigh sé ag múineadh na Fraincise i gCOBÁC. Chuaigh sé isteach in Óglaigh na hÉireann freisin, agus ansin, an bhliain dár gcionn, chuir Seán T. Ó Ceallaigh ina luí ar Ó Briain dul isteach i mBráithreachas Phoblacht na hÉireann. Le linn Éirí Amach na Cásca, throid Ó Briain le hArm Cathartha na hÉireann. D'éirigh aighneas idir é agus a cheannasaí, Mícheál Ó Mulláin, agus é ag iarraidh straitéis a leanúint gan briogáid Bhaile Átha Cliath a bheith “sáinnithe sa chathair”. Ach d'ordaigh Ó Mulláin gur cheart dóibh díriú ar Chaisleán Bhaile Átha Cliath a ghlacadh. Chaith Ó Briain dhá mhí i bpríosún agus sé mhí i gcampa imtheorannaithe sular scaoileadh saor é. Fuair sé amach gur briseadh as a phost é, ach fuair sé ollúnacht i dteangacha Rómánsacha i gColáiste na hOllscoile Gaillimh. Faoin taca seo, chuaigh Ó Briain isteach i Sinn Féin, agus sheas sé don pháirtí in Ard Mhacha Láir in olltoghchán na hÉireann 1918. Níor éirigh leis, cé go bhfuair sé 5,689 vóta. Ba chúis le pianbhreith phríosúnachta eile é an feachtas seo, go hindíreach. Nuair a scaoileadh saor é, ceapadh ina bhreitheamh é sa chóras cúirteanna poblachtánach a bhí mídhleathach ag an am, agus thug sé cuairt ar an bhFrainc agus ar an Iodáil chun airm a fháil don IRA. I mí na Samhna 1920, gabhadh arís é agus imtheorannaíodh é ar feadh bliana, agus dá bharr sin, chaill sé críoch Chogadh Saoirse na hÉireann. Faoin am ar scaoileadh saor é, bhí an Conradh Angla-Éireannach sínithe; thacaigh sé leis seo, agus níor ghlac sé páirt i ngníomhaíochtaí míleata a thuilleadh. D’fhan Ó Briain ina phost mar ollamh i nGaillimh. Sheas sé freisin i dtoghchán Sheanad Éireann sa bhliain 1925, cé nár éirigh leis. Bhí sé ina rúnaí bunaidh ar Thaibhdhearc na Gaillimhe, ag aisteoireacht i gcuid mhaith dá léiriúcháin freisin, agus chaith sé go leor ama ag aistriú saothair ón mBéarla agus ó na teangacha Rómánsacha go Gaeilge. Sheas sé le bheith ina uachtarán ar Choláiste na hOllscoile, Gaillimh sa bhliain 1945, ach níor toghadh é. Sna 1940idí agus 1950idí, is minic go raibh sé ar an teilifís agus ar an raidió. Ar 1 Meán Fómhair 1921 phós sé Helen Lawlor. Ba í an t-iriseoir Eibhlín Ní Bhriain an t-aon leanbh a bhí ag an lánúin. (ga)
