Aonghus Ruadh na nAor Ó Dálaigh

Aonghus Ruadh na nAor Ó Dálaigh, Irish poet, 1550–1617.

Ó Dálaigh was of the Muintir Bhaire sept, and lived at Balliorrone, County Cork.

He was employed by Sir George Carew and Mountjoy to lampoon the Irish chieftains and instigate enmity between them.

According to Alice Curtayne: "The other story is how the Deputy maliciously hired a poet named Angus O’Daly to go around among the few remaining chieftains and satirise them on their fallen estate.

With his pointed wit, he jibed at the MacGillicuddys for their gloom, the O’Reillys for their helplessness, the O’Sullivans for the bad wine they gave their guests.
