Searching finds nothing but WP mirrors, and the List of kings of Leinster does not include him. Unsourced and possibly a hoax. Mangoe (talk) 17:26, 22 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Royalty and nobility and Ireland. Shellwood (talk) 17:53, 22 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Comment a Google book search for this name suggests some uncertainty among historians about who was who in ancient Leinster and who was son of who, but nobody of this exact name. Could be OR or a misreading of sources but I don’t see any basis for keeping this at the moment. Mccapra (talk) 18:43, 22 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete we lack sources that confirm this person clearly existed. If I am reading the Kings of Leinster article right, he would have lived in the 5th century. I understand the desire to cover things in the far past well, but we have to ground such coverage in reliable sources, which are lacking here.John Pack Lambert (talk) 19:30, 22 July 2022 (UTC)
