Born near Liscannor, Co. Clare, Aodh Buí Mac Crúitín collaborated with Jonathan Swift in Dublin; travelled to Louvain where he published an Irish Grammar; enlisted in Lord Clare’s Regiment of the Irish Brigade in Flanders in 1728; and, in 1732, published and English-Irish dictionary in Paris. He returned to Ireland in 1738 and taught in his native Kilmacreehy.
