This house is in Ballyvourney – where Seán Ó Riordáin spent his first fifteen years.
Tá an leacht seo ar taobh an bóthar ó Corcaigh go dtí Inis Cara, roimh an bóthar go dtí an Pairc Réigiúnach.

Níl ionam ach ball De chorp san mo shinsir, Is mairfidh an corp Nuair a bheidh an ball cloíte. Níl ionam ach gníomh A thoiligh Toil Sheanda, Is gníomhóidh sí léi Nuair a bheadsa ar thaobh teampaill Toil – Línte Liombó |

In December 2017, Ó Bhéal hosted Mo Pheann Ag Rince: Tionscadal An Ríordánaigh (My Pen Dances: The Seán Ó Ríordáin Project). A very enjoyable night of music, film and poetry it was.
There was a camera there that night but I have not seen a video of the night. I would gladly pay for the privilege to re-watch.
