Lede
 * Per Manual of Style/Lead section, the lede of this article adequately defines Domnall mac Taidc, establishes Domnall mac Taidc's necessary context, and explains why Domnall mac Taidc is otherwise notable.
 * The info box for the monarch is beautifully formatted and its content is sourced within the prose of the text and by the references cited therein.
 * The image of Domnall's name as it appears on folio 33r of British Library MS Cotton Julius A VII has been released into the public domain and is therefore suitable for inclusion in this article.
 * Kingdom of the Isles can be de-linked in its second use in the first paragraph.
 * Done.--Brianann MacAmhlaidh (talk) 00:00, 20 June 2015 (UTC)


 * The lede is otherwise well-written, consists of content that is adequately sourced and verifiable, and I have no further comments or questions for this section.

Parentage
 * The image of the locations relating to Domnall's life and times is licensed CC BY-SA 4.0 and is therefore free to use here in this article.
 * I wonder if this section would be better worded as "Family" or "Origin and family." "Parentage" still works, but I just wanted to make some alternative suggestions.
 * OK, I've changed the title to "Familial origins".--Brianann MacAmhlaidh (talk) 00:00, 20 June 2015 (UTC)

Uí Briain intervention in Dublin
 * "That being said" seems a bit WP:COLLOQUIAL. Perhaps rephrase with the sentence beginning with However.
 * Done.--Brianann MacAmhlaidh (talk) 00:00, 20 June 2015 (UTC)


 * The second wiki-link to Kingdom of Dublin can be de-linked in the third sentence from the end of this section.
 * Done.--Brianann MacAmhlaidh (talk) 00:00, 20 June 2015 (UTC)


 * In the next to last sentence, it may be more appropriate to name Flanagan here and say Historian M. T. Flanagan asserts... or According to historian M. T. Flanagan...
 * I'd rather be consistant and not drop names of historians in text.--Brianann MacAmhlaidh (talk) 00:00, 20 June 2015 (UTC)
