Pádraig Ó Siochfhradha wrote under the Gaelic pen-name An Seabhac (pronounced[ənˠˈʃəuk]; "The Hawk"; contemporary spelling An Seaḃac). His most famous book is the semi-autobiographical comedy Jimín Mháire Thaidhg, published in 1919,[2] which follows his childhood under the control of his powerful mother, Máire. He became an active organiser for the Irish Volunteers in 1913 and was imprisoned three times for his activities.
