Sorry, I've just spotted who he was - Seán Clarach Mac Domhnaill
1691-1754
http://www.pgil-eirdata.org/html/pgil_datasets/authors/Mac/MacDomhnaill,SC/life.htm

The same page indicates that he "composed a satire on death of a
Tipperary landlord, Colonel James Dawson of Aherlow, 1737"

Which probably enough of a start not to bother others. Please ignore
the question (unless you have a copy of the satire!)
