Some four years later, Ó Longáin would encounter his future son-in-law, Jeremiah Joseph MacSweeney (1837–1924), who joined the Royal Irish Academy when appointed Librarian there in the year 1869. We know besides from the Irish Church and Civil Records that MacSweeney married Maria O’Longan (1851–1931) on 28 April 1872. The marriage took place in St Mary’s Pro-Cathedral, Dublin, where it was performed by Fr T.J. O’Reilly and witnessed by Andrew Cafferty and Catherine O’Regan. Maria was the eldest child of eleven in all born to the renowned Cork scribe and his wife.enIrish languageIrish teachersPedagogyScholarly publicationsMacSweeney, Patrick Morgan, 1873-1935Book Chapter2024-11-27https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/ie/
