Mhic Mac Comhaltan Ua Cleirigh

Mhic Mac Comhaltan Ua Cleirigh, king of Ui Fiachrach Aidhne, died 1025.

An unnamed grandson of Comhaltan Ua Cleirigh was the last Ua Cleirigh ruler of Aidhne. Henceforth the family were dispirsed entirely form Aidhne into north Connacht; one Gilla Isa Ó Cléirigh would be Bishop of Leyny (Achonry) before his death in 1230. Descendants would eventually become the Ó Cléirigh Bardic family of Tír Chonaill.
