Micheál Ó Conghaile

Micheál Ó Conghaile () was an Irish scribe.

Ó Conghaile transcribed poetry, including ''Dán na Gaoithe Móire'' (Night of the Big Wind) and ''Dán an cholera.'' He also transmitted poetry by Antoine Ó Raifteiri and old folk poems. He died ''ar thaoibh an bhóthair'' near the National School of Ballinderreen in the parish of Cummer, County Galway.

One scholar who examined his manuscripts, Tomás de Róiste, despaired of understanding Ó Conghaile difficult script, saying "The handwriting is something terrible to make out ... I had it 4 years and found it a Chinese puzzle!" Provided by Wikipedia
