Pearse Monnet
Máirtín Ó Cadhain stylised
In the political analysis Ó Cadhain argued that Irish nationalist and socialist aspirations were intertwined, with a large emphasis on the promotion of Gaelic culture.
He always spoke of the role Irish speakers should take in 'Athghabháil na hÉireann' (tr. 'reconquest of Ireland') a term first used by James Connolly.
His ideas are best outlined in a speech he delivered in August 1969 (published as Gluaiseacht na Gaeilge: Gluaiseacht ar Strae).
To this end, Ó Cadhain was heavily involved in the 1960's Gaeltacht civil rights movement, Gluaiseacht Chearta Sibhialta na Gaeltachta. This was a successor to earlier initiatives in the 1930's, Cumann na Gaedhealtachta (the Gaeltacht Association), and Muintir na Gaedhealtachta (the Gaeltacht people).
