Biography
It survives in another copy of 188 lines in MS 1291 (formerly H.1.17), also in Trinity, both being made by Hugh O'Daly in the middle 18th century for a Dr. According to Ó Diobhlin (2000), "Because of the corruptness of the copy the poem has never been edited, nor have its contents been deciphered.. Toirealach was transplanted to Connacht, and then he disappears from history after the Jacobite rebellion."
The recorded working language is Irish.
