Diarmuid Ă GrĂĄinne (10 May 1950 â 28 August 2013) was an Irish-language writer and journalist from the County Galway Gaeltacht. He wrote for the newspaper, LĂĄ and featured on RaidiĂł na Gaeltachta. He released a number of books, perhaps best known works are his semi-autobiographical novel writings An Traimp and Muintir na Coille.
Ă GrĂĄinne was strongly influenced by his fellow Connemara-man, MĂĄirtĂn Ă Cadhain whose death he felt left a hole in the leadership of the Irish-language movement. Ă GrĂĄinne also became interested in some Continental European authors, translating writings by or autobiographies about Karl Marx, Albert Camus and Friedrich Nietzsche into Irish.
