Standish Hayes O’Grady (1832-) antiquarian and engineer was born at Erinagh House, Castleconnell, County Limerick, the son of Admiral Hayes O’Grady. He was a cousin of the writer Standish James O’Grady, with whom he is sometimes confused. As a child, he learnt Irish from the native speakers of his locality. Educated at Rugby School and Trinity College Dublin. Although qualified as a civil engineer, he is best remembered for ‘Silva Gadelica’ (1892), a collection of tales from ancient Irish manuscripts. He was a friend of antiquaries John O’Donovan and Eugene O’Curry.
