Eamonn McGrath (14 June 1929 – 5 May 2008) was an Irish author. == Life == Born the third of four children, McGrath spent his childhood in a small farming community near Taghmon, County Wexford. He was educated by the Augustinians at the Good Counsel School in New Ross and after that was offered a place at University College Galway, where he graduated in English and Irish. He was a fellow student of the poet Breandán Ó hEithir. Soon after graduation he fell ill with Tubercolosis and spent nearly three years recovering in a sanitarium in Brownswood, County Wexford. McGrath recovered fully, thanks to the enlightened health policies of Noel Browne during the inter-party government of 1948-51. On regaining his health, he took up a teaching post in Carrickmacross, County Monaghan, where he married Joan Fahey in 1959. In 1963 he moved to another teaching post in Clonakilty, County Cork and remained there for the rest of his life. He also worked as a supervising examiner for the Department of Education in Leaving Certificate English and also set the papers for these exams in the 1970s and 1980s. He died in Clonakilty Hospital, on May 5, 2008, aged 78. He is buried in St. Mary's Cemetery, Clonakilty alongside his wife Joan and his mother. 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「Eamonn McGrath」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
