...“Mr O Cuiv, who was invited over by the Isle of Man Government to advise on the proposed introduction of a Manx Language Act, visited Cregneash where, back in 1947, his grandfather had been able to talk in Gaelic to the old villagers.
“And Mr O Cuiv was in for a surprise during his trip to the Island when he met a direct descendant of the British soldier who arrested de Valera following the Easter Uprising in Dublin in 1916.”
