I looked at the 1901/1911 censuses and Griffiths Valuation. I couldn?t find anyone of the name Conahay anywhere in Ireland. Looking at alternatives there?s a family of McConahey in Co Derry. See:

(O? & Mc prefixes are detachable from Irish names and so you need to bear that in mind when searching).
Another solitary one in Leitrim:
