Kelley's "The Ancestry of Eve of Leinster" (The Genealogist, 1980) IX:1.
Kelley comments:
"The Ui Bairrcchi or Ui Bairrche are identified by O'Rahilly as the Irish Brigantes, a tribe of British origin, originally dwelling in South Wexford and driven out by the Fothairt and Lagin. 'Their traditional ancestor is Daire Barrach, who is very artificially made on of the sons of Cathaer
Mar' according to O'Rahilly, a view which has some plausibility, but which I do not share."

. Baldwin states that Daire is most certainly mythical.
