Uí Bairrche (
Uí Chennselaig in the 8th century. Uí Bairrche held lands around Carlow, however Uí Chennselaig expansion split the kindred. The result was that one Uí Bairrche branch persevered in the Barrow valley; and another was forced to move south towards the Wexford coast.[2]
History
Following the medieval genealogies, the Uí Bairrche descend from Dáire Barrach, a son of
Érainn, being descendants of an ancestor figure Dáire
(*Dārios), and the historical representatives of the Brigantes, who are located in Co. Wexford in Claudius Ptolemy's Geography.
Genealogies for the Uí Baircche are recorded in
Glenn Uissen (now Killeshin), Banba Mór, Cell Mo Lappóc and Tech Mo Shacro.[3]
