Muiris Mac Ionrachtaigh, anglicised as Maurice MacKenraghty[a] (executed 30 April 1585, in Clonmel, County Tipperary) was an Irish Roman Catholic priest who was put to death, officially for high treason, but in reality as part of the religious persecution of the Catholic Church in Ireland by Queen Elizabeth I and her officials. He was beatified by Pope John Paul II, along with 16 other Irish Catholic Martyrs, on 27 September 1992.[1][2]
