Fr. Sweeney, an S.M.A. priest from Claremorris in County Mayo, was a co-founder of Cumann na Gaeilge in 1973 along with Dr. Frederick Rosenheim, a noted psychiatrist. On his passing and in recognition of his lifelong dedication to the teaching of language a scholarship fund was established to allow the Cumann to aid students interested in additional studies.
