Having received an education in Belgium, France and Rome he returned to Ireland to teach languages in a variety of institutions including Clongowes Wood College, Sacred Heart College Limerick, and University College Dublin. He was also Todd Professor of Celtic at the Royal Irish Academy. The ‘Onomasticon Goedelicum’ is a seminal work on the history of Irish place and tribal names and compliments previous work done in this area by Colgan, O’Donovan and Reeves.
