Diarmuid Curraoin's "I know that I have broken every heart : the
significance of the Irish language in Finnegans Wake and in other works of
James Joyce" has been published in 2014 by Maunsel & Company at Dublin,
Ireland and The Academica Press at Palo Alto, California.

Séamas Cain has said that "this is the most original work on James Joyce
since the 1950s!  Curraoin, fluent since childhood in the 'Ring' dialect of
Gaelic, reveals Joyce's uses of this dialect, and the secret messages
conveyed by Joyce through this 'secret' language, in all of his writings.
For it is in the 'Ring' dialect in FINNEGANS WAKE that James Joyce reveals
his deepest personal concerns, worries in regard to the illness of his
daughter Lucia, the manner in which his lifestyle has impacted upon his
wider family, the state in which Ireland finds herself, and the way in
which he is viewed at home."
