Life
[edit]Ó Sé was born in Carrachán, County Kerry, in 1942. He was the son of a fisherman from Baile na nGall called Dainín Dan Ó Sé and his wife from an Daingean, Máire Ní Chinnéide. In 1958, at the age of 16, Maidhc moved to England for a while, before moving to Chicago in 1959. He returned to Ireland in 1969.
His writings were used as part of the Irish-language element of the Leaving Certificate in Irish state education, as a replacement for Peig from 1995.
