Domhnall Ó hUiginn
Person
Who is Domhnall Ó hUiginn?
Domhnall Ó hÚigínn was an Irish poet and teacher.
Domhnall was a member of the same clan as Tadhg Dall Ó hÚigínn and the scribe of Leabhar Cloinne Aodha Buidhe.
This branch of the Uí hÚigínn ran a school of poetry at Kilclooney, near Milltown, County Galway. They were a branch of the Uí hÚigínn Magheny, County Sligo. They had originally settled there at the request of Brian mac Domhnaill Ó Conchobhair Sligo.
The Book of the Burkes is a surviving manuscript, created by Tadhg Dall Ó hÚigínn, and Domhnall's son, Ruaidhrí Ó hÚigínn.
Domhnall himself is listed as in possession of Kilclooney castle in 1575, and there he conducted a well reowned bardic school ... possibly under the patronage of the local O'Connors ... One bardic poem of Tadhg Dall Ó hÚigínn ... informs us that Ulster students came to study at Kilclooney. Scottish students were also reputed to have attended there.
