University College Dublin, 1962: with a college friend Matt Hickey, who when asked once what aspect of history interested him most, replied "Footnotes!" Coláiste na hOllscoile, Baile Átha Cliath, 1962: mise in aondí le cara, Mathún Ó hIcheadhe . Nuair a d'fiafraigh léachtóir de uair amháin cén gné den stair is mó a chuir sé spéis ann, b'é an freagra a thug sé ná "Fo-nótaí".
Visiting historic Kilmainham Prison with fellow members of Cumann Gaelach an Phiarsaigh - an Irish-speaking group of which I was then a member. Cuairt ar iarsmalann phríosún Chill Mhaighneann in aondí le baill eile de Chumann Gaelach an Phiarsaigh, cumann Gaeilgeoirí ina raibh mé páirteach an uair úd.
1961: In the Dublin mountains. Another outing of Cumann Gaelach an Phiarsaigh. The sweater I'm wearing was crotcheted by myself. I made a better job of that than the research on which I began to work shortly after. 1961: Sna sléibhte ó dheas ó Bhaile Átha Cliath. Turas eile le Cumann Gaelach an Phiarsaigh. Mise a rinne an geansaí atá a chaitheamh agam a chróiseáladh. Chuir mé críoch níos fearr ar sin ná ar an taighde a ghlac mé idir lámha ina dhiaidh sin.
