Appears he brought out an eponymous record for Leader Records:

LER 2073                   Al O'Donnell

He also sang for a short whie with the group called "Sweeney's Men" in London, played with Christopher Delaney,

The Digitrad also cites his record referring to a Childs 87 derivation called "Lord Abore and Mary Flynn":

"Al O'Donnell 'Al O'Donnell 2' The Leader Tradition LTRA 501. Tom
Munnelly collated this text from recordings of Jim Kelly and Frank Feeney and
passed it on to Al O'Donnell."

In 2002 it was said (http://www.iol.ie/~ronolan/ballad_biogs.html) "On return to Dublin he became prominent in the ballad scene, singing in folk clubs and on Teilifis Eireann, where he now works as an artist. Continues to sing, most notably at the 2000 Ennis Traditional Festival."

Elsewhere the album "Al O'Donnell 2" is listed a sbeing on the Transatlantic label.

Dick Gaughan learned "Raglan Road" from him; he tells the story this way:

Raglan Road (Patrick Kavanagh)


Learned from Al O'Donnell. I decided to sing this after Al took me on a tour of Dublin pubs, searching for the perfect pint of stout, which turned into a detailed explanation of all the references in the poem. If you want to understand any piece of Dublin literature (especially Joyce) get a native Dubliner to take you on a pubcrawl. The tune, although this is disputed by Irish singers, is Scottish, 'Dawning of the Day'.

Hope these help.
