Very Rev. Canon Diarmuid Linehan (1934 -2013) was born in the Lough parish in Cork and attended St. Patrick's College in Maynooth where he was ordained in 1951. He retired from the parish of Clogheen/Kerry Pike in 2001. Over the course of his life had been editor of The Fold. His interest in the Irish language stemmed from his father, Richard, who had taught Irish in St. Finbarr's Seminary, Farranferris, Cork.
