Yes, it was indeed Luke Kelly to whom Patrick Kavanagh had given the poem, Raglan Road, to put to music. Kelly combined Kavanagh's poem with the tune of an Irish language song, Le Fianne Gael An Lae, to produce a masterpiece worthy of Kavanagh's trust in him to do so.

Yep , Kelly's version is the best . Considering that it was Kavanagh himself who offered the song to Luke Kelly in Bailey's pub in Dublin .

Luke Kelly made this song so great because he recognized that it was a Literary Giant that was asking him to record it, and he may also have been mindful of Kavanaghs savage wit, or sarcasm, from when Kavanagh interviewed Ronnie Drew who had gotten a show on Telefis Eireann as it was then, now RTE, when Kavanagh asked Ronnie was he a good guitarist, Ronnie in Modesty said he was not, when Kavanagh asked him was he a good singer again Ronnie in Modesty, or perhaps truthfully said he was not a great singer. Kavanagh wrote in his Column that "Ronnie Drew, by his own admission can neither Sing or Play the Guitar, and he is still getting his own show on Telefis Eireann". I would like to think that if Kavanagh ever wanted a Female Vocalist to record it ,he would have looked no further than one of the greatest female Vocalists and Songsmiths to ever come out of Ireland, Sinead O Connor, who has recorded a beautifully haunting interpretation of it. as have many others. And indeed Sinead and Ronnie Drew did Duet on "I,ve got a couple more years on ya baby, thats all."

Was O'Malley the Minister of Education for a while?

Yes, Donogh O'Malley was the Irish minister of education and probably one of the most intelligent, hard-working and definitely the most consequential person ever to hold that position. When he took up the job, only one third of Irish kids stayed in school beyond the age of 14; but O'Malley introduced free secondary education and school transport for children in rural districts, and thus laid the foundation for the very high standard of education among Irish people, and ultimately the success of the Celtic Tiger. He faced strong resistance to these measures, but with his force of personality and his disgust at poverty from lack of education and opportunity, he was able to push them through. Apart from that he was an accomplished sportsman, winning medals in rugby, swimming and soccer, he was also affable, a famous wit, generous, compassionate and an all-round great personality. In fact, he was practically everything that the bitter, conceited and mean-spirited Kavanagh was not (apart from the fact that both were alcoholics for a time) ; and a lot of what is written here about the relationship between this lady and Kavanagh is rot. The last few verses of this song/poem, if people were to take the trouble to listen to them instead of being seduced by the beautiful old melody, show the kind of character Kavanagh was and, ultimately, the lack of respect he had for this woman, who was for him only an unwilling muse that he needed for his writing. But she was bright enough never to take him seriously as a man.
