Abstract
1967 was an auspicious year for Irish education. It was the year of the introduction of free post-primary education and of free transport to post-primary schools. It was also the year of the publication of the first edition of Buntús Cainte, a graded course in Irish for beginners, written by my father, Tomás Ó Domhnalláin. Fifty years later, Buntús Cainte continues to enjoy unprecedented popularity. It has been reprinted regularly – most recently in 2017 – and millions of copies of the book have been sold since its first publication in 1967. It is probably the most popular Irish language course ever produced.
