Francis Sheehy-Skeffington
Francis Skeffington (23 December 1878 – 26 April 1916) from Bailieborough, County Cavan, was an Irish suffragist, pacifist and writer. He was a friend and schoolmate of James Joyce, Oliver St. John Gogarty, Tom Kettle, and Conor Cruise O'Brien's father, Frank O'Brien. He married Hanna Sheehy in 1903, whose own surname he adopted as part of his name, resulting in his being known as Francis Sheehy-Skeffington, and sometimes referred to as "Skeffy".
==Early life==
Skeffington was the only son of Joseph Skeffington and Rose Magorian, of County Down. His parents were married at the Roman Catholic Chapel at Ballykinlar in 1869. Skeffy was educated initially at home by his father, a school inspector, and later by the Jesuits at St Stephen's Green before enrolling in University College Dublin (UCD) in 1896. His closest companions at college were James Joyce and Thomas Kettle. He was individualistic in disposition and unconventional in temperament, refusing to shave and wore knickerbockers, long socks and, as an ardent proponent of rights for women, he wore a badge that read ''Votes for Women''. He organised a petition to lobby for women to be admitted to UCD on the same basis as men shortly after he married. He was a well-known figure at UCD and active in student politics and debating societies including the Literary and Historical Society, which he became auditor of in 1897.〔http://www.ucd.ie/lnh/about/L&H%20auditors.pdf〕
At the age of 15, he wrote a letter to his local newspaper, saying that the Irish language was irretrievably dead and "the study of Esperanto would be more useful to the youth of Ireland".〔http://www.anphoblacht.com/contents/7600〕 Later in life he became fluent in the language, and had a number of Esperanto books in his library when he died.〔http://www.communist-party.org.uk/international/analysis-a-briefings/65-james-connolly-and-esperanto.html〕
