2016-608: The Eóganachta; though Kennedy was defeated at the Battle of Gort Rotacháin by Cellach Caisil , King of Munster in 944. The actual reason for this sudden surge has been much debated and one frequently discussed thesis is that it was a political scheme of the Uí Néill , intending to use the Dál gCais as proxies to further weaken the power of the Eóganachta.

He was sentenced to transportation to Bermuda , where he joined other convicts labouring on
