Richard Mc Sweeney

Richard Mc Sweeney: Risteárd Mac Suibhne, Richard of Éire, Richard of Ireland is a self-designated Irish philosopher of the natural kind; a self-originator who enjoys expressing his ideas in a personal prose-poetic style. He is happily married and lives on the beautiful isle of Éire.

The closing two decades of the last century saw him teaching English Language and Literature, and studying philosophy in the Far East and the Middle East respectively.

He has a Masters in Chinese Taoist Philosophy from Seoul National University which he gained through the mediums of Korean and Classical Chinese. He has a BA in Korean Language & Literature from Kyunggi University in Seoul, and a Diploma in Philosophy & Arts from Saint Patrick’s College in Maynooth, County Kildare in Ireland.

He has been constantly practicing the art of expressing himself in written form ever since returning to Ireland in 2001 - always believing his best originality is yet to come.

In 2002-2004 he done substitution work in Glanworth National School, Glanworth, County Cork - classes 4, 5 & 6. Glanworth is his mother’s native village. This very happy memorable experience along with stories told to him by his mother, Joan Healy-Mc Sweeney (1936- ) from her childhood would some twelve years later be the inspiration for his own stories for children as contained in his ebooks beginning with “From Outside A Dream” (Pub. Sept. 3, 2016).

From 2011 he put himself forth as a possible independent candidate for 9th President of Ireland.

In 2016 he played the part of William Butler Yeats in a local drama . . .
