Éamon de Buitléar

Éamon de Buitléar (; 22 January 1930 – 27 January 2013) was an Irish writer, musician and film maker. He was managing director of Éamon de Buitléar Ltd., a company which specialises in wildlife filming and television documentaries.

The son of aide-de-camp to the then President of Ireland, Douglas Hyde, he grew up in a house of Irish language speakers in Wicklow. He began his working career in ''Garnett and Keegan's and Helys'', selling fishing gear and shotguns. It was there where he first met Seán Ó Riada.

A 4 km circular walk or ''The De Buitléar Way'' on Bray Head commemorates his life and work, calling out notable flora and fauna in the area. It was inaugurated in May 2014 by his wife Lailí. Provided by Wikipedia
