New information about WB Yeats’ remains available in State documents.
Eolas nua faoi thaisí WB Yeats ar fáil i gcáipéisí an Stáit.
RTÉ News and Current Affairs The Department of Foreign Affairs decided to suppress information given to them in the late seventies about the remains of the poet WB Yeats.
Nuacht agus Cúrsaí Reatha RTÉ Chinn an Roinn Gnóthaí Eachtracha eolas a tugadh dóibh ag deireadh na seachtóidí faoi thaisí an fhile W B Yeats a chur faoi chois.
In fact, the Department thought that a member of the famous Gluckstein family in London was blackmailing the State when he claimed to have evidence that the bones were not WB’s.
Go deimhin, shíl an Roinn go raibh ball de theaghlach cáiliúil Gluckstein i Londain ag déanamh dúmhál ar an Stát nuair a mhaígh sé go raibh fianaise aige nárbh iad cnámha W.B.
Yeats was buried in Sligo.
Yeats a bhí curtha i Sligeach.
It emerged 10 years ago in French State documents that the remains buried in the cemetery in Drumcliabh in Sligo are unlikely to be those of WB Yeats.
Tháinig sé chun solais 10 mbliana ó shin i gcáipéisí Stáit de chuid na Fraince nach dócha gur taisí W B Yeats atá curtha sa reilig i nDroim Chliabh i Sligeach.
The poet died in Roquebrune, France, in 1939 and was buried in a pauper’s grave.
Cailleadh an file i Roquebrune na Fraince sa bhliain 1939 agus cuireadh é in uaigh bhochtáin.
A grand ceremony was held in Ireland in 1948 when a naval ship brought his remains back to his homeland.
Reáchtáladh searmanas mór in Éirinn in 1948 nuair a thug long cabhlaigh a chuid taisí ar ais go dtí a thír dhúchais.
He was buried in Drumcliabh in County Sligo with great pomp and ceremony.
Cuireadh é i nDroim Chliabh i gContae Shligigh le mustar is mórdháil.
But Yeats’ remains were so mixed with many others in the morgue that there was no way to distinguish them from other people buried there.
Ach b’amhlaidh go raibh taisí Yeats measctha le go leor eile sa mharbhlann agus nach raibh aon dóigh go bhféadfaí idirdhealú a dhéanamh idir iad agus daoine eile a bhí curtha ann.
The pauper’s grave had a five-year lease and was exhumed in 1946 and the poet’s bones were interred with those of many others.
Bhí léas cúig bliana ar uaigh an bhochtáin agus dí-adhlacadh é i 1946 agus cuireadh cnámha an fhile isteach le cnámha go leor daoine eile.
Therefore, it is unlikely that the collection of bones sent back to Ireland belonged to Yeats at all.
Mar sin, ní dócha gur le Yeats an cnuasach cnámha a seoladh ar ais go hÉirinn in aon chor.
A Department of Foreign Affairs file now available in the National Archives due to the 30 Year Rule, provides fresh insight into the controversy.
Tugann comhad de chuid na Roinne Gnóthaí Eachtracha atá ar fáil anois sa Chartlann Náisiúnta de bharr na Rialach 30 Bliain, léargas úr ar an chonspóid.
