Ruaidrí mac Donnchad Ó Dálaigh
Ruaidrí mac Donnchad Ó Dálaigh, Irish musician, died 1469.
Called the most musical-handed harpist in all Ireland, Ruaidrí was a member of the Ó Dálaigh of professional bards. While most notable members of the family in medieval Ireland were poets, a few such as Cearbhall Óg Ó Dálaigh (fl. c. 1630) were famed musicians.
His father's name was Donnchad. Nothing else appears to be known of him.
