  1. Patrick Kavanagh was born in Inniskeen, Co Monaghan on 21 October 1904. His best-known works include the novel Tarry Flynn, and the poems "On Raglan Road" and "The Great Hunger".

    Picture: Patrick Kavanagh in a field with a bucket and a spade over his shoulder.

    Edit: I'm advised by @psneeze that it is probably an ordinary spade, not a sleán, that that he's probably off to dig some potatoes rather than turf.
