Later Years
After his retirement in 1948, Hobson built a house near Roundstone in Connemara. His wife Claire Gregan, from whom he separated in the late 1930s, died in 1958. Following a heart attack during the 1960s, Bulmer Hobson lived with his daughter Camilla and son in law John Mitchell, in the village of Castleconnell, Co Limerick. There he finished his definitive account of his life in the movement for Irish freedom, "Ireland Yesterday And Tomorrow" (Anvil Books, Ireland, 1968).

“We watched her jug a hare, once, on television, years ago.... The hare had been half rotted, then cremated, then consumed. If there is a god and she is of the rabbit family, then Saskia will be in deep doo- doo on Judgment Day.”
—Angela Carter (1940–1992)
“A few more years will destroy whatever yet remains of that magical potency which once belonged to the name of Byron.”
