Muiris Mac Conghail was an Irish journalist, writer, broadcaster, poet and film-maker. The work of his parents, the artist Maurice MacGonigal and the art critic and writer Aida Kelly, meant that the landscape of the west of Ireland influenced him greatly. That also informed a lot of his work, especially his documentaries about the Blaskets and the Aran Islands.
