Hello,

I am a friend of Darach's so will not edit his wikipedia page. However, I wondered whether someone could add the fact that he helped with translation for Hozier's song De Selby (Part 1)?

Darach, Dr Gearóidin McEvoy and Peter Kavanagh from the Motherfócloir podcast helped with the translation of De Selby (Part 1) and are specifically mentioned here (in Irish): https://www.rte.ie/gaeilge/2023/0823/1401237-amhran-gaeilge-ar-albam-nua-le-hozier/


The use of Irish is specifcally mentioned elsewhere in the Irish Times (https://www.irishtimes.com/culture/music/2023/08/19/hozier-this-album-was-actually-more-not-trying-to-be-the-control-freak/) and Irish Independent (https://m.independent.ie/entertainment/music/music-reviews/hozier-hints-at-a-break-up-with-help-from-the-divine-comedy-dantes-that-is/a1766992110.html), but the translators are not directly mentioned :-)! It is a pretty cool thing to do, so given Darach's renown in the field of the Irish language, it might make sense to include it?

Thank you/ Go raibh maith agat!
