He was awarded honorary lifetime membership of the Irish Film and Television Academy (IFTA) in 2011.

Early life

Tóibín was born in 1929 in Cork, Ireland, the sixth of seven children, born to Siobhán (née Ní Shúileabháin) and Seán Tóibín, native Irish speakers. His parents married in 1917. His father, Seán Tóibín, was born in Passage West, County Cork, and his parents came from Waterford and West Cork. Seán Tóibín was a teacher in the School of Commerce in Cork city and the author of two books, Blátha an Bhóithrín and Troscán na mBánta, on wayside and meadowland flowers, both written in the Irish language. His mother, Siobhán Ni Shúileabháin, came from Beaufort, County Kerry.

Niall was born on the southside of Cork city in Friars’ Walk. He was raised with Irish and has used the language in his professional career, notably in the film Poitín. His siblings include Siobhán, Tomás (a poet), Deaglán, Filmin, Góbnait and Colm Tóibín.

As a child he sang in the cathedral choir and the Opera House in Cork. In his teens he joined a drama society attached to the Keating Branch of the Gaelic League. He was educated by the Irish Christian Brothers at the North Monastery (North Mon) after which he left Cork for a job in the Civil Service in Dublin in January 1947.[2]

In 1957, Tóibín married Frances Judith "Judy" Kenny (died 26 June 2002, aged 70) in Dublin. He has five children, and seven grandchildren.

He has also acted for the radio, such as his guest appearance in the BBC Radio 4 series Baldi.

In 2005 he "cemented" his hands outside the Gaiety Theatre, Dublin. He made a speech saying, "It will be a proud day for me. My appearances on the Gaiety stage are without doubt the highlights of my career and I am honoured to have been asked to give my prints."{{fact|date=January 2017}}
