Gilla Ceallaigh Ua Cleirigh

Gilla Ceallaigh Ua Cleirigh (died 1003) was King of Ui Fiachrach Aidhne.

Gilla Ceallaigh was the next-to-last of the Ua Cleirigh kings of Aidhne. From this time on, the family lost power and eventually became an ecclesiastical family. Members included:

  • Conchobhar Ua Cleirigh, lector of Kildare, died 1126
  • Gilla Isa Ó Cléirigh, Bishop of Leyny (Achonry), died 1230

His descendants would eventually become the Ó Cléirigh Bardic family.
