He attended St. Patrick’s College in Mainut and was ordained priest of the Roman Catholic Church in 1867. He became a parish priest in Castellions in 1891, and it was there that he wrote his most famous story, Seadna, and described it as a fireplace. a story for three little girls. Sedna was the first major literary work of the new Gaelic revival. It has been serialized in the Gaelic Journal since 1894 and published as a book in 1904. The plot of this story is about a deal that the shoemaker Sedna made with The Dark Man.
