Standún (born 1918) was born and raised in Liverpool. He joined the Gaelic League in the city "aged sixteen or seventeen, determined to learn Irish."[1] He subsequently joined the Irish Republican Army (1922–1969) "and was sort of hounded by the police for a while. So I eventually came to Ireland in the summer of 1939."[2] He worked in Dublin until May 1940 when he was interned, been released in 1943.
He married May Mulready of Mullingar and they moved to Spiddal where in 1946, they founded a department store named Standun which has turned into an attraction on the Galway tourist trail.[3] [4]
