Séamus de Brún (1 October 1911 – 5 March 2003) was an Irish teacher, senator and promoter of the Irish language and culture. A lifelong member of the Fianna Fáil party, he was particularly noted for his work as a trustee and president of Comhaltas Ceoltóirí Éireann. ==Family and early life== De Brún was born in Cornamona, in Connemara, County Galway, one of six children of Tadhg de Brún and his wife Kit (née Burke). He was educated locally and won a scholarship to Coláiste Connacht in Tourmakeady, County Mayo, where he qualified as a múinteoir taistil (a tavelling teacher of Irish). After a time teaching in Sligo, he was appointed 1944 to a teaching post in Elphin, County Roscommon with Roscommon Vocational Education Committee (VEC), and in 1945 he transferred to the vocational school at Castlerea, where he taught until his retirement in 1977. Whilst teaching an Irish-language summer Course in Tourmakeady, he met his future wife Brid O’Hara (–1988), from Tourlestrane, in County Sligo. They married in 1944, and had three children: Máirín, Tadhg and Finian. His son Tadhg has been for many years a senior member of RTÉ's production staff. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Séamus de Brún」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
