Baldwin writes: “I am inclined to accept the Ui Cheinnselaig pedigree back only to Cinaed's father Cairpre mac Diarmata (d. 876) and Cairpre's father Diarmait (no further data), because the earlier part of the genealogy has discrepancies and chronological difficulties. I am unconvinced by Kelley's "correction" to this pedigree (at his generations 13-15). The first few generations given by Kelley are of doubtful historicity.” Jaski’s chart (p. 121) gives Diarmait as the son of Aed son of Rudgel son of Onchú. Byrne (p. 290) gives Diamairt as the son of Rudgal son of Aed son of Onchú.
