    Ruairí Ó Brádaigh doesn't refer to anything in the recent biography on his life - that is the nature of a biography. It was written by Prof. Robert W. White, and as such is a biography and not an autobiography.
    Are there no quotes or interviews in this book then?

    I'm sure it probably does quote Ó Brádaigh in it (unfortunately I have not yet been able to secure a copy). However, edifice clearly implied that Ó Brádaigh wrote it - that would not make it a biography but an autobiography, and that is something we must be clear about. It is not an autobiography.

    Good comeback there Cormac. Putting that aside, what parts of what O'Neill said do you take issue with?
