Biography
Upon the death of Concobar mac Tadg Ua Cellaig, a succession dispute appears to have arisen in the kingdom, with a confused succession. The king listed after Conchabar mac Tadg is simply called "mac Tadhg Ua Cellaigh", that is, "the son of Tadhg Ua Cellaigh." It is not clear which Tadhg this refers; Tadhg Mór Ua Cellaigh was killed at Clontarf in 1014.
An entry in the Annals of the Four Masters, sub anno 1065, identifies him as Diarmaid mac Tadgh Ua Ceallaigh:
He is listed as been succeeded by Dunchadh Ua Cellaig, who is presumed to have been his victorious rival.
