  McSweeney's Internet Tendency: Dispatches From a Real McSweeney.
The story of Mad King Sweeney can be read as an allegory of the uneasy relationship that has existed between the Irish and the Christian Church, but it can also be seen as representing the struggle between the creative temperament and authority or orthodoxy.
Sweeney took severe umbrage at being so sprinkled, killed one of the psalmists with a cast of his spear, and hurled another spear at Ronan himself.
Ronan, enraged, cursed Sweeney to fly in the air as the spear did, to exist in the trees as a birdbrain among the branches with mad spasms striking him forever and to finally die at the point of a spear.

  Buile Shuibhne - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Buile Shuibhne is the tale of Sweeney (or Suibhne), a legendary king of Dál nAraidi in Ulster in Ireland.
Sweeney took the sprinkling of holy water as a taunt and killed one of the bishop's psalmists with a spear and threw another spear at Ronan himself.
The poetry in the story of Sweeney is exceptional, and the story itself of the mad and exiled king who composes verse as he travels has held the imagination of poets through to the twentieth century.

 King Sweeney, Bin Laden and the Peace Process (Dr. Steven Plaut) September, 1998
Sweeney was the name of an Irish king who believed he was a bird and spent his life in treetops.
Peres Sweeney and Beilin Sweeney adopted the wishful thinking of American civic religion, presumed that the vast majority of Palestinians prefer peace and prosperity to continuing war and violence.
These Sweeney weenies are the same people who refuse to even ponder the possibility that the vast majorities of Palestinians, other Arabs, and Moslems are not at all peace-seeking (at least not when it comes to Israel and the US), are not anti-violence, are not anti-terror.

Fossella, King and Sweeney have taken the lead in Congress to block the IFC’s efforts, including pledging to withhold federal funding unless the museum is focused on September 11th and its aftermath.

 King Day controversy roils C.B. 2
Sweeney, an important Downtown figure, the director of the Soho Alliance community group and president of Downtown Independent Democrats — one of the most influential political clubs in Lower Manhattan — said he was “blindsided” by Smith’s resignation and that she had never called him or contacted him about the issue.
Sweeney said that the issue is the timing of the hearings schedule of the Landmarks Preservation Commission, which he’s tried to change for three or four years to no avail, which gives him no choice but to hold the meeting on King Day.
Sweeney said Jan. 19 also happened to be his birthday, yet he still held the Landmarks Committee meeting that date, forcing him to cut short a three-day weekend at his house in Montauk.

 Theatre Mirror Reviews - "Sweeney Astray"   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
Sullivan has composed an evocative musical score and Hughes' company of nine singers re-enact the adventures of mad king Sweeney while a narrator reads the text.
Sullivan's score is what lifts "Sweeney" out of pageant territory, making it more than a literal acting-out of the text.
"Sweeney's" string suit is its singing, with fine vocal work from Mick Israel as Sweeney's arch enemy, whose curse "exiles (the king) from himself." Sullivan has assembled a first rate orchestra in Ellen Polansky, Crick Fiefendorf, Elaine Fortuin, Owen Beane, and Sullivan herself on guitar.
