The earliest surviving Irish law manuscript, In Senchas Már, was written prior to 1350 at a school (patronised by the Mac Aodhagáin) at Duniry, near Loughrea.[1] Other branches of the clann maintained schools at Park, outside Tuam, and at Ballymacegan in Co. Tipperary.[3]
The surname has been Anglicised in a variety of ways, including as Mac Egan, Egan, Eagan, Keegan,[4] Keeghan, McKeegan, or Keigan, McKiegan, and McKagan.[citation needed]
