Mac an Bhaird, Aodh Buidhe (Ward, Hugh; Vardaeus, Hugo)
Contributed by
Morley, Vincent

Mac an Bhaird, Aodh Buidhe (Ward, Hugh; Vardaeus, Hugo) (c.1593–1635), hagiographer, was born in the barony of Tirhugh, Co. Donegal, probably at Ballymacaward, a townland that was named after his family. The Mac an Bhaird family belonged to the hereditary learned caste of Gaelic society and its members served as poets to the O'Kellys of Uí Mhaine, the O'Reillys of Bréifne, and the O'Donnells of Tír Chonaill. Aodh Buidhe Mac an Bhaird was the son of Eoghan Mac an Bhaird and his wife Máire Ní Chléirigh, and it has been suggested that Aodh's father may have been the Eoghan Ruadh Mac an Bhaird (qv) who accompanied Ruaidhrí O'Donnell (Ó Domhnaill) (qv), earl of Tyrconnell, into exile in 1607. In keeping with his family's learned status, Mac an Bhaird received a good education, studying for six years in Connacht under a variety of masters, the most important of whom he named as Oliver Hussy, Henry Hart, Tadhg Ó hUiginn, and Aonghus Mac Con Midhe – a mixture of Old English and Old Irish names suggesting that his studies ranged more broadly than the traditional bardic curriculum. In January 1612 he entered the Irish Franciscan college at Salamanca, a step in which he was followed by a younger brother, Fearghal, in 1615.

In 1622 Mac an Bhaird was appointed lecturer in philosophy at the Irish college of St Anthony in Louvain. He was in Paris in 1623 and there met another Irish Franciscan, Fr Patrick Fleming (qv), whom he enthused with the idea of collecting material on the lives of Irish saints, a project that was prompted in part by a desire to counter Thomas Dempster's Menologium Scotticum (1619) which had claimed many of the early Irish saints for Scotland. While in France, Mac an Bhaird visited libraries at Nantes, Harfleur, and Rouen as well as Paris, and Patrick Fleming provided him with reports of manuscripts that he found in French, Italian, and German monasteries while travelling to and from Rome. Having being appointed guardian at Louvain, Mac an Bhaird despatched a lay Franciscan brother, Micheál Ó Cléirigh (qv), to Ireland in 1626 to collect hagiographical material from Irish manuscripts. The continental scholars with whom Mac an Bhaird corresponded included the Benedictine Benedict Lessing and the eminent Jesuit historian John van Bolland. He served as guardian of St Anthony's in 1626–9 and was appointed lecturer in theology in 1629. These and other duties delayed work on the lives of the saints, and by 1630 he was already in poor health. He died at Louvain on 8 November 1635, before any of the primary sources that he had collected or his own writings could be published.

Within a year, however, Micheál Ó Cléirigh completed his manuscript Annála ríoghachta Éireann (the so-called ‘Annals of the Four Masters’) at the Franciscan convent in Donegal. Two hagiographical works by John Colgan (qv), Acta sanctorum Hiberniae and Triadis thaumaturgae acta, which were substantially based on sources collected by Mac an Bhaird, appeared at Louvain in 1645 and 1647 respectively. In 1662 Sancti Rumoldi martyris . . . acta, Mac an Bhaird's own Life of St Rumold, the patron of the Belgian metropolitan see of Mechelen, who was believed to have been Irish, was published at Louvain.

China :

From Hong Kong Letters :

Wah-Yan :
The College opened on April 12th after the Easter and Tsing Ming holidays. We came fourth at the Inter School Sports. Two of our best runners had sprains and strains, and were unable to run.
There are 38 under instruction in our Catechism classes, but, as regards baptism, much parental opposition has to be overcome, as the following figures show. Parents definitely opposed, 17; Parents say “too young” 7; , not yet ready for baptism, 10; will be baptized shortly, 3.
Last January, H. E.. The Governor of Hong Kong appointed a special Committee, consisting of four prominent citizens (non Catholics) to investigate the future of the University. Their report has just been published in the local papers. One of their suggestions is that “certain local missionary bodies (notably the Jesuits)” should be invited to take lectureships in the University.
On May 18th, John Tse, our second Chinese candidate for the Society, sailed for Manila to begin his noviceship under the American Jesuits. John has been a pupil of Wah Yan College during the past give years. He knows three Chinese dialects and English. One of his sisters is a Carmelite in Hong Kong.
During Pentecost, Father MacDonald visited Canton, where he gave a series of lectures on Catholic Action, some in English, some in Chinese.
Father G. Byrne was presented with a Coronation Medal as a token of the Government’s appreciation of the work done by him in the Colony.
At Wah Yan, on the Feast of Corpus Christi, nine new members were received by Father Rector into the Sodality of Our Lady. All these new members are converts from paganism, and many of them have surprised us by the readiness with which they seem to have absorbed the Catholic spirit. The new Catholics take the Sodality very seriously, and the election of new members is carried out with great scrupulousness. A gathering of the members on the evening before the reception, on the occasion of a farewell tea to our novice, John Tse, who was an official of the Sodality revealed the fact that there is a bond of union and sympathy between the Catholic boys which is greater than we could have expected. This is very largely due to the influence of some of the leading boys, who are greatly respected, and give excellent example to the others. The speech made by the Prefect of the Sodality, Thomas Woo, during the farewell tea to John Tse, could hardly have been improved upon by a Catholic boy in any country. It showed a deep appreciation of the value of a religious vocation, and was expressed with a frankness and absence of self consciousness that were proof of real sincerity, Father Ryan is the Director of this. Sodality.
At Ricci during the month of May the students, on their own initiative, decided to recite the Rosary in common. An extract from the notice posted up on the House tabella by the Prefect of the Sodality inviting the students to attend, may be of interest :
“During the month of May the Rosary will be recited each evening in the chapel at 7.30 p.m. The chief intention will be to honour our Mother Mary, to whom the month of May is especially dedicated, and to ask her to grant us and our fellow-students success in our examinations. All are asked to join in this homely gathering.”
The members of the Sodality gathered several bundles of old clothes and presented them to the Little Sisters of the Poor. About fifteen students went to visit the Home for the Aged which is conducted by these Sisters.
Earlier in the year, Wah Yan won the Inter-Schools' swimming championship, and so had not much difficulty in also winning the Inter-Chinese-Schools' swimming championship.

Hong Kong Letters – January :

Wah Yan :
During the month of December we had fifteen baptisms--one of them a Chinese General who had been wounded earlier in the war. One of the boys is the best long-distance runner
in the College, a half-negro from Jamaica. Another of them is proving a regular apostle. He has already got his elder brother, has induced one of the finest families in the school to ask for baptism en bloc, and says that he will get one of his best friend, nicknamed “The Mosquito,” who has hitherto been regarded as unhookable.
The number of baptisms this year has been : Boys, 32 , others, 12, Total, 44. Since we took over Wah Yan we have been responsible for 217 baptisms.
The Christmas Examination began on December 11th and ended December 18th. During them we were allowed the valuable assistance of Messrs. Lawler and Walsh from Taai Lam Ch'ung. The distribution of prizes took place in the Queen's Theatre, one of the largest in Hong Kong, This Prize Day was a very great success. H. E. the new Governor, Sir G, H. Northcote, consented to preside, and to give away the prizes. Two plays were presented , a translation of “The Bishop’s Candlesticks” in Chinese, and an abbreviated version of “Macbeth” in English, The Governor said of the former that the acting was the best he had ever seen at any school Prize Day. It made a very deep impression on the boys and will, please God, produce much fruit later on in the way of conversions. Mr. Robert Wong, one of our masters had charge of the Chinese play, and Father Craig of “Macbeth”. The star
performer was Peter Tse, a brother of our novice, John Tse, who took the part of Lady Macbeth.

NEWS FROM THE MISSIONS :

China :

Regional Seminary, Aberdeen, Hong Kong, November 17, 1952.

Coming of Age :

On October 28th 1931 tbe Regional Seminary opened its doors to its first students. Class began on October 30th with twenty students nine theologians and eleven philosophers. October 28th, 1952, saw the Seminary twenty-one years old. In those twenty-one years three hundred and fifty six students passed through its classrooms. Some of these, especially since refugees from the Red Terror began pouring into Hong Kong, spent only a few months in Aberdeen before passing on to other destinations in Manila, Spain, American Macao. We have records of the ordinations of one hundred and twenty-one, of whom sixty-three did all their Major Seminary studies, philosophy and theology, in the Seminary. All through the twenty-one years the annual numbers in the Seminary varied greatly, growing steadily till the Second World War broke out, then declining until 1945, when the increase began once more, reaching its peak in 1949, when a hundred and twenty seminarians were at the same time within its walls. Three Seminaries helped to swell our numbers at that time, Kingsing which went later to Manila, Hankow which was reassembled in Macao, and Shanghai which returned to Red China while the door was still open. In the last few years the annual number bas stayed between seventy and eighty. This year we have already seventy two and we are expecting another four from Formosa
We have one ex-Jesuit-novice, one ex-Dominican-novice, one ex-Carmelite-novice, one ex-Trappist-oblate, one ex-Picpus, and one candidate for the Dominican Order who was refused a Visa for America where he hoped to enter the Dominicans and is continuing with us waiting for a more auspicious occasion.
We have a few late vocations. One was a civil servant for about six years in Mauritius Island, another was a humble helper of a Missionary in China. Several were soldiers in Chinese armies in Manchuria, one studied for some years in Japan. Some of them have had to attend Communist schools.
We have thirty-six from North China and thirty-six from South China. Twenty-nine are Theologians, forty-three are Philosophers. They belong to twenty-four different Dioceses, or Prefectures, or Missions, scattered among eight Ecclesiastical Provinces including Mauritius, where an Irish Holy Ghost Father is Bishop. Seven of them are members of the Congregation of the Disciples of the Lord. They have all taken the usual religious vows. We are expecting four more belonging to this Congregation.
Last Summer we saw the ordination of twelve of our students in the Cathederal of Hong Kong. Already earlier in this year three had been ordained. All of these young priests are now busy at work. It is not possible at present to get back into China, but into Hong Kong have streaned an endless succession of refugees, poor and rich, fleeing from the Red Terror. Among these, many of our priests are working. There is Fr. John Tse, for example, hard at work with a Maryknoll Father at real pioneering work. They are starting from the very begin ning without a chapel, or school, and with a little rented shack to house them. Besides the work of instruction, preparations are going ahead for a school. And Fr. Tse is busy trying to get the refugees to run a co-operative to produce, and sell without middle-men, cane furniture. Away in the islands to the south, others are working. Three are in Java where in the first few months of their stay they converted four hundred adults. In Borneo, Fr. Paang is busy trying to help on education for Catholics. He plans at the moment a fifteen-classroom school. Others are working in Formosa.

Clavin, Terry
Smith, Louis Patrick Frederick (1923–2012), agricultural economist and academic, was born on 21 December 1923 in Kevit Castle in Crossdoney, Co. Cavan, the youngest of eight children of Dr Frederick Paul Smith, a farmer and ophthalmologist of Kevit Castle, and his wife Isabella (née Smith). He was born into a thriving branch of an ancient Cavan family, known originally as O'Gowan. His grandfather Philip Smith bought the Kevit Castle estate in the 1850s and later became Cavan's first catholic JP. Of his uncles, Philip H. Law Smith was county court judge for Limerick; Louis Smith, the crown solicitor for Cavan; and Alfred J. Smith an internationally respected UCD professor of midwifery and gynaecology. As well as having a successful ophthalmological practice, his father was elected to the first Cavan County Council and helped establish the local cooperative movement.

Louis was educated in Clongowes Wood College, Co. Kildare, before studying economics and history in UCD, graduating with a first class honours BA (1947). Continuing in UCD, he won the Coyne Memorial Scholarship while receiving a first class honours MA in economics (1948), writing a thesis comparing agriculture in Northern Ireland and the Republic. He also studied law at King's Inns, passing his bar exam finals, but preferred a career in economics and spent a year at Manchester University researching British agriculture and getting lecturing experience.

In January 1949 he sat the civil service examination for the position of third secretary of the Department of External Affairs. Despite otherwise coming first by a distance, he failed the oral Irish test, which he retook unsuccessfully in August and then September. The examiners were unmoved by his protests that the test was unfair so on 28 November the cabinet intervened by temporarily appointing him economic assistant in the trade section of the Department of External Affairs. This was at the behest of the external affairs minister, Seán MacBride (qv), who wanted Smith to explore the potential for trade liberalisation.

In 1951 he joined the Irish Agricultural Organisation Society (IAOS) for which he organised agricultural cooperatives in the northern parts of the state. Farmers were initially suspicious of the 'man from Dublin', but were won over by his lucidity and soft-spoken decency. That year he married Sheila Brady of Herbert Park, Dublin. They lived in Dartry, Dublin, later settling in Donnybrook, Dublin, and had three sons and three daughters. Tall and with refined features rendered distinguished by his prematurely grey hair (a family trait), Smith relaxed by playing tennis at the Fitzwilliam Lawn Tennis Club. He also enjoyed cycling, boating, rambling and do-it-yourself work, including furniture making, and was fluent in French.

Formatively impressed by what he saw on a research trip to Scandinavia, he lauded the progressive cooperative farming that prevailed there as a model for an Irish agricultural sector resistant to modern scientific and business methods. He concluded that Ireland's weak social structures had bred a suffocating state paternalism towards agriculture and that strong vocational institutions were needed to counteract this. Drawing upon his training as an economist and personal experience of cooperatives, he later wrote The evolution of agricultural co-operation (1961), which examined the application of the cooperative principle in various countries with a characteristic emphasis on the practical over the theoretical.

In 1954 he left the IAOS to join Macra na Feirme, a vocational association that trained young farmers. He directed its activities in economics and marketing, and became involved in efforts underway towards creating a farmers union spanning all commodity interests. Appointed economics adviser to the National Farmers Association (NFA) formed in January 1955, he helped establish the system of commodity committees that served as the basis of the NFA's organisation. (His brother Alfred Myles Smith served as the NFA's legal adviser and later as president of its Cavan executive and vice president of its Ulster executive.) At this time Louis worked a ninety-hour week making the case for the NFA to farmers.

His main function was to conduct research, an important role given that agricultural policy had previously been developed on a non-factual basis in response to short-term political exigencies. Part of a vanguard of experts who placed the Irish economic debate on a firm statistical footing, he established the NFA's credibility by churning out facts and informed arguments, clashing regularly with politicians and civil servants discomfited by the advent of a well-organised farmers lobby. Through his public lectures and newspaper pieces, he exerted an important influence over young farmers, most notably by persuading them of the advantages of cooperative livestock marts over unsanitary and inefficient cattle fairs.

From 1954 he combined his work in farm organisations with lecturing in agricultural economics and international trade in the UCD economics department. He also introduced courses on European institutions and was awarded a Ph.D. by UCD in 1955. His dual roles complemented each other, bringing home to him the importance of linking agricultural education with research. He criticised the government for failing to do so and also for starving agricultural education and research of resources and for maintaining political control over the farming advisory services. He identified a lack of training and basic schooling as the besetting weakness of Irish farming.

His research for the NFA revealed that Irish agriculture was unproductive and undercapitalised, but that much of this was attributable to government policies which lumbered farmers with high input and transport costs, arbitrary rates, mistaken breeding programs, volatile prices, weak cooperative marketing and export restrictions. Above all he showed how the strategy of seeking trade preferences for Irish farm produce in Britain had run aground once Britain began protecting its farmers through subsidies rather than tariffs. With their traditional British outlet emerging as the industrial world's most open food market, Irish farmers received the lowest prices in western Europe and became increasingly reliant on exporting unfinished cattle, a form of production that provided the least employment.

Pointing to the European common market as a secure, well-paying alternative, he highlighted the untenable nature of Ireland's position as a small, politically isolated food-exporting country, particularly as generously protected continental farmers produced ever-larger surpluses, which were then dumped on the British market. His arguments convinced previously sceptical farmers that there was a political solution to their economic difficulties, though his assertion that Ireland could join the EEC even if the UK did not was unrealistic. He was a founding member of the Irish Council of the European Movement, established in 1954, serving as its chairman (1962–5).

Having become a full-time UCD lecturer, he resigned his position in the NFA in January 1963, continuing for a time on the NFA's National Council. He received a doctorate in economic science from UCD in 1963 for his published work and became an associate professor of political economy (international trade) in 1969. Enthusiastic and engaging as a teacher, if at times impenetrable and absent-minded, he co-wrote an economics textbook, Elements of economics (1969), and expressed public sympathy for the late 1960s student protests against the UCD administration. A long-serving president of the Irish Council for Overseas Students, he was a council member of the Irish Federation of University Teachers and active in the Academic Staff Association as a committee member and secretary.

Continuing to comment regularly in the print media on farming, the EEC and economics, he had a well-regarded weekly farming column in the Irish Independent (1965–69) under the penname 'Agricola'. In 1971 he contributed to a booklet outlining the farming benefits to be derived from Ireland's membership of the EEC and later disputed claims made by anti-EEC campaigners concerning high food prices within EEC member states. After Ireland joined the EEC in 1973, he opposed efforts to subject the newly enriched farming sector to meaningful taxation. He also argued influentially that Ireland's currency link with a depreciating sterling reduced the benefits of EEC membership by causing high inflation.

He was a director in a firm of management consultants and of the South Dublin Provident Society, and was retained as an economics consultant by various semi-state agencies, the European Commission and AIB. His 1971 AIB appointment reflected his successful efforts to encourage the banks to lend more to farmers. During the 1960s and 1970s, he published a labour survey of the Cooley peninsula as well as studies of the Irish food processing and retailing sectors, the finance costs associated with Irish farming and the compliance costs associated with the Irish tax system. He condemned the high tax policies of the 1970s and 1980s for discouraging savings, employment and investment, and devised tax reform proposals on behalf of the Irish Federation for the Self-Employed. A longstanding member of the Christian Family Movement, he drew attention to the rapid 1970s increase in Irish working mothers and annoyed feminists by suggesting this would put families under strain and encourage lesbianism.

He co-wrote two histories, Milk to market (1989) and Farm organisations in Ireland: a century of progress (1996): the former capably described the role of the Leinster Milk Producers Association in supplying Dublin; the latter contains invaluable anecdotal material relating to the founding and early years of the NFA, though as a history it is workmanlike, partial and sketchy in places. After retiring from UCD in 1988, he kept active by playing tennis into his mid-eighties before switching to snooker and swimming. Following a long illness, he died in the Bloomfield Care Centre, Rathfarnham, Dublin, on 25 November 2012. He was buried in Mount Venus Cemetery, Rathfarnham, and left a will disposing of €1.26 million.

◆ Fr Edmund Hogan SJ “Catalogica Chronologica” :
No Ch Name Synnott

DOB probably Wexford; Ent 1771 St Andrea, Rome, and was the last in the house to put off the Jesuit habit.

The following letter of James Butler to Father Aylmer, dated Tivoli 1814, gives information about him and the Irish and other Jesuits of the old times. (This letter was rescued from a fire, it being thought unedifiying and uninteresting) :

“Father James Butler SJ to Father Aylmer at the Gesù, Tivoli, August 1814. When I reached Tivoli, my Jesuit dress and cross were recognised by the people, who crowded around me, kissing my hands and begging my blessing. I found there six Fathers of the Old Society, nearly all Spaniards. The Superior was a fellow labourer of Father O’Callaghan in the Philippine Islands, and parted with him in 1770. Nearly all had been subjects or companions of Irish Jesuits, and all agree in giving them great praise for their abilities and virtues. The Bishop’s secretary tells me that he know many of our countrymen, and among others, one who was a Novice at St Andrea, Rome at the time of the Suppression. When the officials were going to unfrock him, he said ‘Hands off, you shall not meddle with me as long as there is a single Jesuit in the house dressed in the habit of St Ignatius’. They did not press him till all the others were deprived of their religious dress. He said to tem ‘Go tell the Pope that an Irishman was the last to part with the habit of St Ignatius’. The punishment of this spirited conduct was a pension from Rezzonico, who took him into his house, treated him as an equal and a most intimate friend. After some time he told his patron that he wished to see his native land, and the Senator Rezzonico took him with him on his travels, and left him in Ireland. The name of this true Irishman was Synnott. The Fathers are extremely kind to me. The first evening, when Recreation and Litanies were over, they lighted their tapers, and when I was going to light mine, they stopped me, and said the old custom was to light every newcomer to his room, and the Superior said, tjhat in the Philippines, it was as well the custom to wash the feet of the newly arrived. So, off we went in solemn procession to my cell, when I found that one of the old Fathers had made my bed, put fresh water in my basin, and trimmed my lamp”.

(Senator Abbondio Rezzonico was a nephew of Pope Clement XIII)

Note from Br John O’Brien Entry
It may not be out of place to mention that Edmund Hogan stated that the Italian Fathers told James Butler, of Clongowes fame, in 1805, that an Irish Jesuit Synnott was the last to leave off the Jesuit habit worn at the time of the Suppression in 1773 - “Go and tell His Holiness that it was an Irishman was the last member to put aside the habit”. So, Brother O’Brien was the last Brother to put aside the tall-hat in 1892 in obedience to the order of the Provincial Timothy Kenny.

John Synnot
05 January 1772 Entered St Andrea Rome

Francis Finegan SJ Biographical Dictionary 1598-1773

John Sinnot

He was born in Wexford August 6, 1752, and he entered the Society in Rome on January 5, 1772, on the even of the Suppression.

According to a letter of Father James Butler to Father Charles Aylmer (both Irish members of the newly restored Society in 1814, John Sinnot was the last member of the community at Sant Andrea to part with his Jesuit gown. That Sinnot eventually returned to Ireland is clear from the same letter. It is not stated in it, however, that Sinnot eventually became a Priest, although it can be argued that his very spirited refusal to be unfrocked indicated his strong desire to be a priest.

He may be identical with the Father John Sinnott of Ferns diocese, who was living in 1786.

◆ Menology of the Society of Jesus: The English Speaking Assistancy

August 31

Brother Synnott was probably a native of Wexford, who joined the Novitiate of St. Andrea, at Rome, in 1771, and was the last in the house to put off the Jesuit dress. Father James Butler refers to this novice in a letter to Father Aylmer, then resident at the Gesù. “When I reached Tivoli”, he writes, “my habit and cross were recognized by the people, who crowded round me, kissing my hands and begging my blessing. I found there six Fathers of the old Society, nearly all Spaniards; the Superior was a fellow-labourer with Father O'Callaghan in the Philippine Islands, and parted from him in 1770. Most of these had been subjects or companions of Irish Jesuits, and all agreed in giving them great praise for their abilities and virtues. The Bishop's secretary tells me that he knew many of our countrymen, and among others, one who was a novice at St. Andrea's at the time of the Suppression. When the officials were going to unlrock him, he said, ‘Hands off, you shall not meddle with me as long as there is a single Jesuit in the house dressed in the habit of St. Ignatius’. They did not press him till all the others were deprived of their religious dress, and then, out no holding out no longer he exclaimed, ‘Go, tell the Pope that an Irishman was the last to part with the habit of St. Ignatius’. The punishment of this spirited conduct was a pension from the Senator Rezzonico, who took him into his house, and treated him as an euqal and as a most intimate friend. After some time he told his patron that he wished to see his native land, and Rezzonico made him his companion in his travels, and, taking him to Ireland, left him there. The name of this true Irishman was Synnott”. Then Father Butler goes on to say of himself : “The Fathers are extremely kind to me. The first evening, when recreation and Litanies were over, they lighted their tapers, and when I was going to light mine, they stopped me, and said the old custom was to light every new-comer to his room, and the Superior said that in the Philippines it was the custom as well to wash the feet of the newly-arrived. So off we went in solemn procession to my cell, where I found that one of the old Fathers had made my bed, put fresh water in my basin, and trimmed my lamp”.

The subsequent career of Brother Synnott after the date of the Suppression remains unrecorded.
