Letter from Máirtín Ó Direáin to Proinsias Mac Diarmada, 1931 Litir ó Mháirtín chuig Prionsias Mac Diarmada i 1931 le fógairt go raibh sé le héirí as An Taibhdhearc. Síltear gur thit Máirtín amach le Mac Diarmada de bhrí nár glacadh le dráma nuascríofa lena dheartháir, Tomás. Bhí Máirtín fós gníomhach sa Taibhdhearc ina dhiaidh sin, áfach.
