An Claidheamh Soluis

An Claidheamh Soluis was a Gaelic cultural organization founded in 1901 by Tomás Ó Báille and others to revive and promote Irish language, literature, and traditions. The name means "The Sword of Light" in Irish, symbolizing cultural pride and resistance. It published a journal of the same name, advocating for Irish identity and nationalism. The organization played a significant role in the Gaelic Revival, fostering a renewed interest in Irish heritage, arts, and language, and contributing to Ireland’s cultural independence during the early 20th century.
