Padraig Ó Domhnallain, Irish short story writer, born 1884.

Born at Oughterard in 1884, he became a member of the Gaelic League in the early 1900‘s, and was a local organiser. He and Colm de Bhailís assisted Patrick Pearse during his time at Rosmuck, in collecting poems and songs of the region. His own short-stories were written in collaboration with Tomás Ó Raghallaigh and called Bruth-Fa-Thiar. He also translated Chekhov and Merimee into Irish.

He was a descendant of King Dluthach mac Fithcheallach of Ui Maine.
