 Fir Bolg:
The Fir Bolg are likely derived from the historical Belgae, known from Gaul and Britain, and related to the historical Builg of Munster; the Fir Domnann are probably related to the British Dumnonii; and the Gailуin are another name for the Laigin, who founded Leinster.
In particular, this theory holds that "Fir Bolg" is a corruption of a term for "Breeches-Wearers", reasoning that, as manual laborers, the Fir Bolg would have found it useful to wear trousers rather than the robes and garb of the Celts.
The Fir Bolg were given, as a place of settlement, the Aran Islands and surrounding coastland (the largest of these Islands, Inishmore--Árainn--is home to a fortress allegedly related to Aengus and the Fir Bolg, Dún Aengus).

The Fir Bolg exist as either individual communities (with all the differing ties of allegiance, power and rivalry that this entails) where they have settled free of the influence of others, OR they exist as a subject race to the Tuatha De Danaan, "ceiles" to their monarchical rulers.
The Fir Bolg are a proto-type for the pagan Irish of Pendragon.
However, like the Irish, the Fir Bolg's connection to their heritage is very strong, and the Fir Bolg of antiquity (the race of awesome men and women who struggled against the Danaans and the Milesians alike, centuries ago) is only a harsh word or breach of hospitality away, under the surface of their gentler visage.

Each Fir Bolg tuath is insular, and the religious and administrative system which works for the Fir Bolg is restricted to within the tuath; it is a system that operates within the tuath.
Fir Bolg women tend to be emotionally hardened by their learning, for it teaches them to understand the working of destiny and GEASA and how it will affect their's and their families' lives.
The Utopian Fir Bolg Community: this is an outline of the Fir Bolg community operating under ideal circumstances, and stands as an example to further explain the role of religion and kingship under the unity of the Old and New Ways.

 Heathen Harvest - Reviews: Gaë Bolg and the Church of Fand - Aucassin et Nicolette
Gaë Bolg and the Church of Fand have been courting listeners since the bands debut release “John Barley Corn Must Die.” After “John Barley Corn Must Die” broke upon the scene some years ago Gaë Bolg and the Church of Fand has become a highly collectable and desired bands amidst bombastic music lovers.
Staying true to their medieval sensibilities Gaë Bolg and the Church of Fand has created a beautiful album inspired by the French novelette titled “Aucassin et Nicolette” which was written in 1225.
Though Gaë Bolg’s previous material has predominately been reinterpreted medieval songs and texts what makes this album so different from previous albums is the focus upon a single source and the shift in the sound of Gaë Bolg’s music.

 ...:::Darken Dreams: The Irish Book of Invasions: The Conquest of the Firbolg:::...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
Different were their tribe-names at that time as they came, namely, Galeoin, Fir Bolg, and Fir Domnann; nevertheless, though various and dissimilar were their names, their mutual friendship was very close; for they were of one race and one origin.
Fir Bolg, again, is the name of Gann and Sengann with their people; to them the name Fir Bolg prperly belongs, for it is they who were carrying the earth in the bags {bolg}.
However, it is correct to call them all Fir Bolg in general, for it is in the bags for carrying the earth they came over sea to Ireland, and they are one immigration and one race and one principality, though they came on different days, and landed in different creeks.

However, none of their volunteers, selected from several races and ethnicities including Fir Bolg, were able to wield the power that Antis' had discovered.

 EN World - Morrus' D&D / d20 News & Reviews Site - Rule Question: Striking the Cover Instead of a Missed Target
Say, Bolg the Big Barbarian (AC 16, +4 Armor, +2 Dex) is providing 3/4 cover to his mall friend Albert (Originally, AC 11, +7 from Bolg's cover).
If the Dodge bonus is removed from the covering creature's AC, and the resulting AC would have been hit by the attack roll, it means that the covering creature was able to avoid the hit by moving out of the way.
It is complex, complex enough that I had to type it out to look at it myself (counting up possible attacks results), but you had it right in situation 2 there (imho, though others may disagree).

 An earlier theory of mine
Yes, the Fir Bolg were small and dark, just as the Picts are described.
But the problem is that the Fir Bolg are already living in Ireland before either the Milesians (Celt-Iberians) or the Tuatha De Danaan (Brythonic Celts) arrive.
It is possible that the Fir Bolg were Med-Atlantids who were related to them and settled in Ireland very early on, seperating from the Basque-type people from whom the Cruthin (Picts) came at a much later time.

On the origins of the Osraige Chronicle (and thus Togail Dúin Bolg), Radner speculates that ‘possibly the Osraige Chronicle originated as a saga of Cerball and his descendants, and other stories were drawn in to fill out the historical record’ (xxv).
She goes on to say that it was likely composed during the Viking era.
This story is not to be confused with the tale known as Cath Belaig Dúin Bolg.

 Jim Fitzpatrick - Mythology - The Earliest Invasions of Ireland
It is significant that the Fir Bolg are the first of the Labor Gabála invaders with a definite place in history, however uncertain that place might be.
The Gaileoin are identified with the Laighin, the tribe who gave their mane to Leinster(Laighean), and the Fir Domhnann of Connacht are no doubt related to the Dumnonii of Cornwall in Britain and the Damnonii of Scotland.
T.F. O'Rahilly links the Érainn, a historical people, with the Fir Bolg and further asserts that they were in origin an off shoot of the Belgae of Continental Europe.
