Notable people

Carriganima is the homeplace of the famous Irish language writer and Catholic priest, an t-Athair Peadar Ua Laoghaire, who was born in the townland of Liscarrigane (Lios Carragáin) and attended Carriganima National School.

Art O'Leary met his poetic martyrdom in Carriganima on the 4th of May, 1773.Seán Ó Cuív. 1908. Cuíne Aírt Í Laere. Page 5.

He was waked in the flax mill in the village, where his wife, Eibhlín Dubh Ní Chonaill began composing Caoineadh Airt Uí Laoghaire. This lament is considered to be the most impressive piece of poetry to be ever written in any language.
