The descendants of this Teige branched out, and inha- bited various parts throughout Ireland, namely : the race of Cormac Gaileng in Luighne-Connacht, from whom ye, the Muintir-Gadhra, the twoUi Eaghra in Connaught, and O'h-Eaghra of the Ruta, O'Carroll of Ely, O'Meachair in Ui-Cairin, and O'Conor of Cianachta- Glinne-Geimhin, are descended.
