UCC public lecture to remember Amhrán na bhFiann composer

The composer of Ireland's national anthem is to be remembered in a free public lecture at UCC tomorrow evening. 

Peadar Kearney will be the subject of a talk given by his grandson Professor Colbert Kearney.

Kearney suffered hardship in later life and is said to have been disappointed with the Free State government’s abandonment of republican ideals following 1916 and suffered forms of depression.
