Remembering Dingle peninsula poet Domhnall Mac Sithigh

Anyone growing up in the rugged splendour of the Dingle Peninsula must surely be moulded and inspired by such surroundings, as the late footballer and native son, Paidí Ó Sé, often opined.

Domhnall Mac Sithigh, who died in a sea tragedy off Portugal last week, won renown as a voyager in small boats on many turbulent seas.

He was also a writer, philosopher and a spiritual man who saw the natural world through the eyes of a poet.
