322 in Ireland

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

The source(s) for these article are primary sources, specifically Irish annals, but there are not accepted as having much if any reliability before the 5th century at the very earliest, and more plausibly the 6th: "Irish annalistic records at such an early period are not to be taken as historically authentic" [Fergus Kelly, "Cormac mac Airt", Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, here].

Also included, for the same reasons: There is little point in merging this material as it will be equally unverifiable if merged. The most recent source on Irish chronology is Volume VIII of the Royal Irish Academy's New History of Ireland and this contains none of these items. Angus McLellan (Talk) 20:24, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

 * Merge these and any similar articles on other years before (perhaps) 500 into articles on centuries, in this case 4th century in Ireland. This MUST be accompanies by an explanation of the credence to be placed on the information, namedly that it comes from the Irish Annals, which historians regard as recording legends, rather than historical facts at this remote period.
