Who invented the Irish bodhran drum?

The exact origins of the Irish bodhrán drum are not definitively attributed to a single inventor, as it has deep roots in traditional Irish music and culture. The bodhrán is believed to have evolved from ancient frame drums used in various cultures, with its modern form becoming popular in Ireland during the 20th century. Its development is often associated with the revival of traditional Irish music in the 1960s and 1970s, rather than a specific individual.
