" Carbery' M'=Kygan," of Montrath, 1581 [no. 3762]; " Carbrie M-'Keigan, 

 of Kilcumreragb, 1581 [no. 3775]; " Carbry M^Kigane," of Syonan, 1600 

 [no. 6450]. 



29. («) "Enis Dallye alias Dallye," 14 Jan., 1585 [no. 4576]. 

 (&) "Eanes Dally, of same" (viz. of " Cloynoniiue ''), 1601 [no. 6658], 

 i.e. of Clonmeen (Gluain Mln), the seat of '0 Ceallaebain, near Banteer, in 

 Duballow, Co. Cork. Here we have the poet Aonghus '0 Bdlaigli Fionn. 

 In (a) his name occurs immediately after those of "Donald, earl of 

 Clanearr," and his family; the first place-name mentioned is "Castleloughe,"^ 

 which is given with the name next following that of the poet. Aonghiis, as 

 we know, was head of his name ; hence the " alias Dallye " of the Fiant. 

 Furthermore, we know that he was as closely connected with Mac Carrthaigh 

 Mor as with '0 Caoimh of Duhallow ; he has left a poem^ (23 N 15, p. 151) 

 on the death, ca. 1586, of Tadhg, the only lawful heir of the Earl of Clancar,^ 

 as well as an elegy on the Earl's death in 1596. 



30. («.) '■■ Eneas keaghe Daly, of Moyntervarye," 31 Aug., 1590 

 [no. 5456]. (6) " Eneas Odaly otherwise O'Daly of Cahir," Co. Cork, 

 described as "yeoman," 20 Feb., 1604 (Cal. Pat. Eolls. Ja. I., p. 32a). This 

 Aoncjhus (cnoch) '0 Bdlaigli must be the Aonghus '0 Dalaigh who lived at 

 Ballyroon, in S.-W. Cork (where he died in 1617), and to whom the satire 

 on Irish families is ascribed. "Cahir" is the townland of Caher, adjoining 

 Ballyroon, and like it situated in Muntervary [Muinntear Bhdire], i.e. on the 

 promontory separating Bantry Bay from Dunmanus Bay. From the pardon 

 of 1604 we infer that Aonghus was then '0 Dalaigh Cairbreach, head of the 

 Carbery branch of the family.* 



31. [a] "Euyes Dalye, of Palees," 28 May, 1598 [no. 6232]. (h) "Enos 

 ODalie," of " Pallice," 15 May, 1601 [no. 6517]. Here we have Aonghus 

 (mac Baighre] '0 Bdlaigli, poet to the O'Byrnes, of Pallis, in the north of 



' The name Cairbre, like Baothghalach, was a very common one at this time in the 

 Mac Aodhagain family everywhere. 



'" i.e. Castlelough, on the shore of Lough Leane, one of the residences of Mac Carr- 

 thaigh Mor. 



^ This is one of several historical poems by Aonghus Fionn "which do not find a place 

 in Fr. M'Kenna's edition. 



* In "Pacata Hibemia," ed. 1810, p. 528, mention is made of " Odalie " of Mun- 

 tervary, who in 1602 was brought before Carew charged with bringing messages from 

 the "rebels." This "Odalie" was very probably Aonghus, but it is just possible that 

 he may have been the .same person as " Laghlin Odallye " who later on in the .same 

 work (pp. 576, 651) is mentioned as the bearer of messages from tlie " Iraytor" Tirrell 

 to Carew.
