Eoghan Rua Ó Súilleabháin (1748-1784) who was born near Killarney is still remembered as Eoghan of the Sweet Mouth. His poem, ‘Rodney’s Glory’, inspired the well-known set dance that is still danced today. The origin of the O’Sullivan’s marches is not known. They were probably composed by musicians who played harps or pipes.
