The card in a neat hand in pen reads: Le Mor-Mheas O Thomas O Raithile xii - 13 - 1913" Tomás Ó Rathile was born on 11 November 1882 at 6, The Square, Listowel , Co. Kerry . The books he wrote were: Dear Poems (1916); Papers on Irish idiom (1920); Poems (1921); A miscellany of Irish proverbs (1922); Little Bourdons (1925); Love Poems , enlarged edition (1926); A collection of poems (1927); Desiderius (1941); Irish dialects past and present (1932); The Goidels and their predecessors (1936); The Two Patricks (1942); and, of course, Early Irish history and mythology (1946). Papers on Irish idiom was his own selection of Father Peter 's grammatical notes. Along with Shán Ó Cuív and Bergin he was a champion for Uí Laoghaire's writings and helped the other two in their early efforts to provide a spelling standard. Micheál Ó Cearúil says in the Constitution of Ireland: a study of the Irish text (1999) that it was Rathileach who put Irish on the front of the Constitution, when De Valera asked him to do so.
