Tá iomrá ar Dhomhnall Óg Ó Ceocháin mar dhuine d’fhilí Dhámhscoil Mhúscraí ó 1960. Rugadh é i gCúm Thóla, in aice le Beanntraí, i 1921 agus is ábhar filíochta dó mioneachtraí na beatha comhaimseartha chomh maith le staire, creideamh agus eachtraí a chomhfhilí. Filíocht thíriúil Ghaeltachta faoi chló na haimsire.

Born in Cúm Thóla, near Bantry, in 1921, Domhnall Ó Ceocháin has been prominently associated with Dámhscoil Mhúscraí (The Muskerry Bardic School) since 1960. His poetry updates the traditional idiom of Gaeltacht poetry; and deals with life’s minor adventures, history, religion and the doings of his fellow poets.
