. "Eochu (or Eochaid) Guinech, king of Ui Bairrche, said [AI, CS] to have killed Crimthann mac Ennai Chennselaig, king of Laigin (see #4587968) [CGH.117a=LL337f (Rw.6, CGH.6); R.121a=LL.313b=Lec.87b=BB.126aa (Rw.180, CGH.46)] [Note: The names Eochu and Eochaid have been frequently confused, even in the early sources, and it is not clear which one is correct. The official genealogy then proceeds to make Eochu a son of Oengus, son of Mac Ercca, son of Breccan, son of Fiacc, son of Daire Barrach (eponym of the Ui Bairrche), son of Cathair Mar, of whom the last two can be regarded as certainly mythological. (See, for example, EIHM pp. 36-8). An Eochu Guinech also appears as a son of Daire Barrach in the Ui Bairrche genealogies [R.121a (Rw.181, CGH.46)], suggesting confusion, and it is difficult to accept the genealogy prior to Eochu.
