Patrick Greaney
Patrick Greaney (fl. 18th century) was a Gaelic-Irish poet.
Greaney was a poet from Ballintleva, Tuam, and worked for Ulick Jennings of Ironpool in the parish of Kilconly, who was a member of the local gentry. Ulick's son was John Jennings. Along with a composition called Seán Óg Ó Ciardhubháin, Greaney's lament for John Jennings' unexpected death, Doctúir Jennings, was among his most notable songs.[citation needed]
All of Greaney's known works were collected and published by Eibhlín Bean Ui Coisdealbha in 1919 in a compilation of traditional folk-songs from Galway and Mayo, titled Amhráin Muighe Seola.[citation needed]
