    Donnchadh was a great Irish poet and a Latin poet of repute. He composed many nice poems. His best one is Bán Chnoic Éireann Ó. it is thought to be the best poem in the Irish language. Two others he wrote are Eachtra Ghiolla an Amhráin and As I was A-walking One Evening Fair.
    Here are some lines from his Eachtra.
    I mBaile Seoirse i gcóngar an tréimh-fhir
    Risteárd Bán dob fhearr de Paoraigh
    Nó ins an gCill ó tsuim go chéile
    Nó an brasaracht le Peadar Ó Cinnéide.
