Born in Limerick at Christmas, 1927, in 1952 he married Rita Beegan of Farranshone, Limerick. They live in County Dublin and have seven children, seventeen grandchildren, and four greatgrandchildren. He was educated and taught Irish by Sisters of Mercy, lay teachers, and Christian Brothers. He trained as a teacher at Col\u00e1iste P\u00e1draig, Drumcondra, and he holds degrees in Literature and Education from U.C.D. and Trinity College. He has published over sixty works in all genres, and won many literary awards; he has also written many plays for radio and television, as well as working freelance in broadcasting and journalism (he wrote a weekly column in Irish for eight years in the now defunct Irish Press). His poems and short  stories were published in magazines in Ireland, Britain and the US, and he has published translations from Irish and other languages, including a prize-winning Irish version of the three initial cantos of  Dante’s Divina Commedia. He left teaching in 1960 to work for a brief period as a writer for Bord F\u00e1ilte, an experience that gave him a ready made play, Is \u00c9 D\u00fairt Polonius (What Polonius Said).  He is one  of the most prolific and versatile Irish writers of the twentieth century; he is also the most censored writer, although he is not mentioned in any books on that theme where only official censorship for sexual content is recorded (see Consplawkus and A Writer’s Life). Although some of his plays were produced at the Abbey Theatre, and he was the first playwright to be awarded an Abbey bursary, two of his best plays were rejected on moral grounds, causing him to be sacked from teaching posts, directly in 1962 by the Archbishop of Cashel and indirectly in 1968 by the Archbishop of Dublin, after the plays were produced elsewhere. One of these, C\u00f3ta B\u00e1n Chr\u00edost\/The Order of Melchizedek, having won the Oireachtas drama award, hailed as a masterpiece by the adjudicator, Walter Macken, and also the Douglas Hyde memorial award, hailed as “a deeply religious play” by a committee chaired by Tom\u00e1s (later Cardinal) \u00d3 Fiaich, and described by the author’s London agent as the best play she had ever read, was rejected in both Irish and English versions by the Abbey directors, who described it as blasphemous, obscene, etc. In 2021 LeabhairComhar published his collected Irish poems under the title \u00c9igse Saoil (Poems of a Lifetime).Bibliography[edit]L\u00e1 D\u00e1 bhFaca Th\u00fa (1955), novelAn tIolar Dubh agus Long na Marbh (1958), a novelC\u00f3ta B\u00e1n Chr\u00edost (1966), an Irish-language playThe Order of Melchizedek, an English-language version of C\u00f3ta B\u00e1n Chr\u00edostS\u00e9anaid B\u00e1s le h-Adhart (1965) novelLearair\u00ed Lios an Ph\u00faca (1968), novelA Poet in Rome, poetry collectionSanctuary Island (1971), short storiesBanana, poetry collectionIs \u00c9 A D\u00fairt Polonius (1973), playMise Raifteir\u00ed an File (1974), playVan Gogh Chocolates, poetry collectionAisling Dh\u00e1 Abhainn (1977), poetry collection\u00d3 Fh\u00e1s go hAois, poetry collectionCentenary (1985), a 5,000 line poem chronicling the history of the Gaelic Athletic AssociationHomo Sapiens (1985), absurdist playThere is an Isle (1998), first volume of autobiographyConsplawkus (1999), second volumeA Writer’s Life, third volumeThe Heart Has Its Reasons, anthology of short storiesBeautiful LimerickL\u00f3chrann an D\u00f3chais, a biography of Nano NagleReferences[edit]  "},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"https:\/\/wiki.edu.vn\/en\/wiki24\/#breadcrumbitem","name":"Enzyklop\u00e4die"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https:\/\/wiki.edu.vn\/en\/wiki24\/criostoir-o-floinn-wikipedia\/#breadcrumbitem","name":"Cr\u00edost\u00f3ir \u00d3 Floinn – Wikipedia"}}]}]
