 The Descent of the O'Neills
Nor is the Muirchertach Ua Neill identified as a king of the Cinel Eogain as the Lebor Eoganach implies.
Like the Ua Flaithbertachs and the Ua Maeldoraidhs, Aodh Ua Neill was therefore an interloper in the succession of the Cinel-Eogain when Rory O'Connor partitioned the Kingdom in 1167; and it was this partitioning that revived their nearly dormant hopes of again obtaining the leadership of the Cinel Eogain.
Thither came Diarmaid, son of Cormac, lord of Desmond; Muirchertach Ua Briain, lord of Thomond; Diarmaid Ua Maeleachlainn, King of Meath; Donnchadh Ua Cearbhaill, Lord of Oirghialla; and all the chieftains of Leinster.

 Irish Names N, O
The personal name was much in favour among the Eoghanacht, the tribal grouping who controlled the kingship of Munster before the rise of Brian Boru of the Dal gCais, and it is from one of the Eoghanacht kings, Ceallachan (d.964), that the family trace their descent.
Murchadg Ua Ceallachain, a grandson of this king who lived in the early eleventh century, was the first to transit the surname hereditarily.
The present titular head of this branch of the family is Hugo O'Neill, 'O Neill of Clandeboy', a Portuguese businessman descended from Muircheartach, chief of the family from 1548 to 1552.

This caused some rift between the brothers but nevertheless Hugh participated in their rebellion of 1102 against Henry I of England which caused the loss of all their English and Welsh lands, and their banishment from the kingdom.

The details are not certain, but he seems to have helped his father_in_law by bringing some Normans to help drive out the Norwegians from Ireland.

This ford is also mentioned in a poem by Dubhthach Ua Lugair in praise of Crimthann, a king of Leinster in the fifth century.
The only problem is that after 'mac' the father's name has to be put into the genitive case, so that for example Duba/n the son of A/ed is Duba/n mac A/eda (or in modern spelling Dubha/n mac Aodha or even Dubha/n mac Aoidh).
Similarly, Domnall the son of Brian is Domnall mac Briain (now Domhnall mac Briain).
