yes, as far as I'm aware Seán Ó hÉanaigh composed the song "Conamara" (Connemara, western Ireland)

Gist of the song:

the young people are leaving, going to Montreal, Seattle, etc from Indreabhan, the islands, Camus and Ros a' Mhil
they didnt want to leave their friends and family, but what choice was there when there's no work at home?
