Scope and content

This series relates to the papers of Giolla Críost Ó Broin. Ó Broin, born Christopher, gave himself the name Giolla Críost, and was a member of CnaG from 1893/4. In 1908 he got a job with CnaG as an organiser for Meath, Westmeath, Cavan and Longford; he entered Oireachtas competitions in singing, dancing and drama and organised many outdoor festivals and concerts. He was secretary for the Dublin District council of Conradh in the 1920s, taught in the Ard Craobh from 1920s to 1950s, and became president of the Oireachtas in 1958. His papers were stored in a leather suitcase branded with his initials and consisted primarily of handwritten and typed scripts including some plays of his own along with music notation.
