Domhnall Ó hUiginn
Domhnall Ó hÚigÃnn was an Irish poet and teacher.
Domhnall was a member of the same clan as Tadhg Dall Ó hÚigÃnn and the scribe of Leabhar Cloinne Aodha Buidhe.
This branch of the Uà hÚigÃnn ran a school of poetry at Kilclooney, near Milltown, County Galway. They were a branch of the Uà hÚigÃnn 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 hÚigÃnn, and Domhnall's son, Ruaidhrà Ó hÚigÃnn.
Domhnall himself is listed as in possession of Kilclooney castle in 1575, and there he conducted a well renowned bardic school... possibly under the patronage of the local O'Connors... One bardic poem of Tadhg Dall Ó hÚigÃnn... informs us that Ulster students came to study at Kilclooney. Scottish students were also reputed to have attended there.
