Ó Cléirigh is the surname of a learned Irish family whose members appear in historical records dating to the mid-Medieval Period. In the centuries prior to the historical era, they had been rulers of Uí Fiachrach Aidhne, a kingdom in what is now the south of County Galway, but were subsequently expelled by their cousins, the Clan Ó Seachnasaigh (O'Shaughnessy). From the early 11th or 12th century, they were based in Tír Chonaill, located in modern-day County Donegal, where they served as poet-historians, scribes and secretaries to the O'Donnell dynasty of Tyrconnell. Notable members of the clan included: * Mac Comhaltan Ua Cleirigh, King of Uí Fiachrach Aidhne, fl. 964. * Lughaidh Ó Cléirigh (fl. 1595–1630) * Mícheál Ó Cléirigh (ca. 1590–1643), considered the chief author of the chronicle of medieval Irish history known as the ''Annals of the Four Masters''. * Cú Choigcríche Ó Cléirigh (died 1664) ==References== * ''Oxford Concise Companion to Irish Literature'', Robert Walsh, 1996.
