Clan Diarmatta (Clandermot), of the Cenél Éoghain, descent from Clan Conchobhair. The parish of Clondermot in County Derry is said to derive its name from this clan territory. An O'Carolan sept (O Cairealláin) as well as a Mac Ettigan (Mac Eitigen) were cited as chiefs of Clan Diarmada prior to the 13th century. Not to be confused with Uí Diarmata of Síl Muiredaig, in Connacht. Conmacine, Enda, Ross

An early Clan Diarmatta (Clan Conchobuir) genealogy:   (Rawlinson) Máel Ruanaid m. Áeda m. Ruaidrí m. Óengusa m. Cairelláin m. Baígill m. Diarmata m. Conchobuir m. Fergaile m. Máele Dúin m. Máel Fithrich m. Áeda Uaridnaich m. Domnaill m. Muircherdaich m. Muiredaich m. Éogain m. Néill Noígiallaig.

Delbna - (or Delvin) Co. Roscommon and Co. Galway. Dealbhna Nuadhat was a territory between the rivers Suck and Shannon. They are sometimes referred to as the Dealbhna of Uí Máine. O'Flanagan was seated between Mantua and Elphin in Co. Roscommon.
MacConry (King) of Moycullen are cited as chiefs of Dealbhna Thíre Dá Locha (of the Two Lakes), though not located in Uí Maine.
There were also Delbna territories in Westmeath and Meath, i.e. Delbna Mor, Delbna Bec and Delbna bEthra.

Clann Connmaigh and Clann Murchadha - O Fínnachta (O'Finaghty) were chiefs of Clan Connmaigh and of Clan Murchada, districts in the two half baronies of Ballymoe in the Uí Maine counties of Galway and Roscommon. Clanconow, alias Clanconway, is described by O'Donovan as west of the river, a branch of the O Finaghtys. Hennessy gives Clann Murchadha on the east of the river Suck. O'Finaghty of Clan Conway, had their castle at Dunamon (Caislén Dúin Imgáin), near the river Suck, in the county Roscommon. O'Dugan makes note of their two chiefs in the Poems, and cites Finaghty of "Clan Murrogh of the Champions;" and Finaghty of the "Clan Conway." The O'Finaghtys were noted by O'Hart as a branch of Clan Colla, as were the Uí Maine. The historian O'Dononvan notes the Ó Fionachta (O'Finaghty) were of the same stock as the O'Connors of Síl Murray, who at one time were senior to them. Dr. A. Moore states that there was also an Uí Maine sept of O'Finaghty. The Annals of Tigernach give Clann Conmaig as a sub-division of Síl Muiredaig, the territory giving tribute to the kings of Connacht. The Mac Davey Burkes were later lords of Clanconway.

An early genealogy of Clann Murchadha: Finachta m. Guillbeithi m. Flaind m. Cinaith m. Muiredaigh m. Finachta m. Gletnecan m. Fergusa m. Murcada m. Innrachtaigh m. Muiredaigh. also... Murchadh m. Flainn m. Gletnechan m. Congalaigh m. Fergusa m. Murcada m. Innrachtaigh m. Muiredaigh


Located in the County Sligo, the baronies of Tirerril and part of Corran. Named for Ailill, son of Eochuid Mugmedón, and brother of Niall of the Nine Hostages, a quo Úi Ailella Connacht. The MacDonagh sept, branch of the great MacDermot clan, were later lords of Corran or Tirerrill. The Mulrooney and later MacDermot septs, princes of Moylurg, were overlords in this territory.

Located in southwest County Leitrim in the area of Magh Nise (Moynish). i.e about the baronies of Mohill and Leitrim. The O Maoilmiadhaigh (O'Mulvey) sept is noted as chiefs here, and over Muintir Eolais for a time. Muintir Cearbhallain - Tellach Cerbhalláin

MacEideadhain or Mac Aodhagain (anglicised "MacEgan") were chiefs of Clan Diarmada, a district in the barony of Leitrim, county Galway; and had a castle at Dun Doighre, now "Duniry." The MacEgans were Brehons in Connaught, and also in Ormond; and many of them eminent literary men. The Mac Egans supplied hereditary Brehons to different parts of Ireland. O'Hart mentions the sept of O'Connaill or O'Connell, chiefs of the territory from the river Grian (or Graney), on the borders of Clare (barony of Upper Tulla), to the plain of Maenmoy: comprising parts of the barony of Leitrim in Galway, and of Tullagh in Clare. These O'Connells and the MacEgans were marshals of the forces to the O'Kellys, princes of Hy-Maine; and of the same descent as the O'Kellys, namely that of the Clan Colla.

Clan Breasail - Chiefs of Clan Breasail, a district in the barony of Leitrim, county Galway, are identified by O'Hart as O'Domhnallain or O'Donnelan. McLysaght places them with Ballydonnellan, a district between Ballinasloe and Loughrea. They claim descent from Domhnallán, a lord of Clan Breasail, and were chiefly known as ollavs or poets. The Book of Lecan cites Muinter Domnalláin, in Húib Maine, as an alias for Clan Breasil. Clan Breasail is not to be confused with the Uí Bresail of Armagh.
