Uí Mail (Hy Maile) and Cualu (Cualan)
According to MacFirbis, Main, a younger brother of Cathal Mor, Monarch of Ireland in the second century, was ancestor of O'Ceallaigh of Cualan. These Kellys were also referred to as Chiefs of Hy Maile. Their territory was believed to occupy north west Wicklow lying south of Tallagh along the northern slopes of the hills and stretching across the northern slopes of Glenasmole. It included Killininny, Ballycullen and Kilmacheth. They were neighbours of the O'Byrnes and the O'Tooles of Ossory, Leix, Naas, Roscommon, Galway. This territory was wrenched from their control early in the Anglo-Norman invasion into Oriel: Fermanagh and Monaghan.
