  Manannan mac Lir - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The name Manannan derives from an earlier name for the Isle of Man, and his patronymic mac Lir was metaphorical and meant "son of the sea (Ler)": his father is given in early genealogies as Allód.
He is unrelated to the character Lir of the well known story of the Children of Lir.
In the Isle of Man, Manannan mac Lir was known as Mannan.

 The Children of Lir
Lir, overwhelmed by the kindness of the man he had insulted, accepted, and made haste to Lough Derg, arriving the following day with a retinue of fifty chariots.
Lir chose Aebh, because she was the eldest, and they slept together that night.
Lir came south to take her; they slept in Bodhbh Dearg's palace; and then he took her back with him to the Fews.

I imagine Lir is referring to the Editing* ban, which is odd since he denies being that person.

 Who were the children of Lir?
Lir refused to accept Bodhbh (or Bodb) as king, yet despite the fact that many of the king's followers wanted Lir dead, Bodb refused to persecute him.
Aobh made Lir very happy and their union produced four beautiful children - Fionnuala (the eldest, a daughter), Aodh or Aed (a son, Fionnuala's twin), and younger twin sons (Fiachra and Conn).
Today, the legend of the Children of Lir lives on in the beautiful silver jewelry that is made in Ireland, the folklore which can be heard recounted by story tellers in Irish pubs dotted around the country, and, swans are still protected birds in Ireland.

 The Fate the Children of Lir
Then Lir came to the edge of the lake, and he took notice of the swans having the voice of living people, and he asked them why was it they had that voice.
And there was great sorrow on the sons of Lir when they heard that, for they thought it the same as to be living people again, to be talking with their friends and their companions on Loch Dairbhreach, in comparison with going on the cold, fretful sea of the Maoil in the north.
The children of Lir were baptized then, and they died and were buried as Fionnuala had desired; Fiachra and Conn one at each side of her, and Aodh before her face.

 The Children of Lir
Lir ruled, and his daughter Fionnuala, who was already growing to be a beautiful young woman showing the elfin features of her people, cared for the three boys as best as she could.
Lir wandered the drafty and lonely corridors of the castle, seeing Eva in every corner, smelling her scent and spice in his bedchamber, mourning, ever mourning, and unable to live again.
Lir decided to take his court away from the White Fort for a time, and planned to take the children and his servants to the palace of Eva's father, Bobh the Red, on the warm and forgiving banks of the Sinann.

 The Children of Lir   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Lir doted upon the children, and they always slept in beds in front of their father, who used to rise at early dawn every morning and lie down among his children.
Then Lir and his people raised their shouts of grief, crying and lamentation, and they stayed by the shore of the lake listening to the wild music of the swans until the swans flew away, and King Lir went on to the Hall of Dearg the king.
But the children of Lir continued to delight the Milesian clans with the very sweet fairy music of their songs, so that no delight was ever heard in Erin to compare with their music until the time came appointed for the leaving of the Lake of the Red Eye.
