     The third wave of Celts arrived into Ireland from Armorica in the north - west of France in Gaul, (Western Normandy), who became known as the Laigin / Lin / Spear People, who were previously shepherds and farmers originally from inland Europe from along the River Danube, who had followed the Sun and integrated with the natives in Gaul who had taught them how to utilise navigation, which then allowed them to cross over to Ireland. Previously known as the Gaileoin they used lances as their main weapon, as they had originated from the same ancestors as the Celtic Gacsati (spearmen) who were to invade Italy in the 3rd Century. They where “P“ speaking Celts and some members of these original Septs also were to settle into Ireland still later on around 100 BC due to the continuing Roman Military expansion into Gaul, after previously settling into Albion / Briton. These Laigin Celts were known as the Fir Domnain who were to settle around Malahide / Inber Domnann in Co. Dublin in the north - east of Southern Leinster and also around Irrus Domnann (the massive bogs in the north - west of Co. Mayo in the mid - west of the Connacht Province) where they were to be eventually reduced to integration there as a separate entity. There, they were connected to the Dumnonii Septs who were also originally from Devon in Albion / Briton and also in the south - west of Albany / Scottish Highlands. The Laigin Septs where to eventually set up basically in the Leinster Province, (which is named for them) where they were to become part of a confederacy under the influence of the aristocratic Gaelic Milesian Heremonian Ui Laoghaire Ui Lughaidh Cu Corb Septs. This particular Heremonian expansion was to force the Fir Bolg Septs there further west, who then began to construct many forts / duns against them, such as those in the later kingdom of Ossory of the Heremonian Ui Laoghaire Ui Connla Osraige Sept situated between a rock and a hard place in Co. Kilkenny in the south - west of Southern Leinster on the border of Co. Tipperary in the north - east of the Munster Province. Their original Septs were the Cauci, the Coriondi, the Brigantes, the Domninii, the Manapii and the Usdiae. They too traced their ancestry from 11.Japheth and 10.Noah through 72 races of the then known World who still claimed their original descent from 12.Magog and 1.Adam. They too were “P“ speaking Celts using some Welsh words, but the "P" sound also included a "K" sound from an older "Q" speaking line. 

      The Celts were still widespread throughouit Western and Trans - Alpine Europe, and prior to this they had also settled in abroad area from Spain to Asia Minor, and were also made up of those who had originated from the European wilderness north of the Alps in an area beyond the civilised travel of the Mediterranean region.

     Iron now became the predominant metal being used in Ireland, with long earthworks in existence at Dorsey in Co. Armagh in the south - east of the Ulster Province, and the Black Pig’s Dyke that runs across much of lower Ulster was to be utilised during the Iron Age. 

250 BC - 332 AD. This was the period in which Eamhain Macha / Armagh in the south - east of the Ulster Province, (The original Navan Fort) of the Celtic Gaelic Milesian Irian Kings of Ulster and their Red Branch Knights of Ulster, would become the most predominant Sept and Province in Ireland, and culminate in the archetype of the great Irish warrior in Setanta / Cu Chulann - the Hound of Cullan. Their territory of Creeveroe / Craobh Ruadh would take in central Co. Down and parts of the territory nearby in Co. Armagh. The Irian Septs would eventually lose their dominant position to the Heremonian Ui Cobhthaigh Ui Felim Dal Cuinn Septs in the Midlands / Meath / Mide and the Connacht Province in the far west, and later still their region there in Emain Macha in Ulster would be, at first, also subjugated by the Heremonian Ui Cobhthaigh Ui Felim Dal Cuinn 3 Colla Septs who would migrateb from out of Midhe in Northern Leinster. 

       The Celts possessed both a language and an institutional system showing each Tuath / Family region to have been but one member of a far - flung Family with Aryan heritage in Northern India preserved to modern times. In oral learning it indicates a close relationships with Celtic and Aryan traditions surviving in a largely uncontaminated form, because they were still in the periphery regions of the ancient World escaping from the turmoil and intrusions. (The Celtic Irish always lived inland.)

      The Irish King’s Family belonged to the aristocratic noble class who were aristocratic warriors, but in pagan times the Druid, Seer or otherwise was accorded the highest status, but did not form a hereditary caste, and Freemen / Saor commoners were mainly farmers and craftsmen. In pagan times the King’s ritual functions were of great importance as were his executive ones, while those considered sacred or ritual people were known as the Nemedh. The kin / Fine and Derb - Fine was a more restricted kinship to 4 generations in the male line with marriage outside the kin - nobles who were outside the Tuath. Individual freemen / Saor possessed an honour price / Log nEnech, which was an assessment of his dignity. Client ship / Celsine was armed attendance and other services by the Cele / client who was normally a commoner, and his Lord / flaith who received protection and material support with no loss of independence. A jurist / Brithem was one who only expounded the Brehon Law to assist the King in his judgements and was trained in a law school.

219 B.C. *62.Rory Mor - the Greater who was the Celtic Gaelic Milesian Irian 86th King of Tara / Erinn, died this year, who was descended from 37.Ir, (Irians) and he was to become the direct male line ancestor of the Clann na Rory Sept. His sixth son was to be the direct male line ancestor of 68.Conal Cearnach - of the Victories who was to become the outstanding leader of the Knights of the Red Branch of Ulster, and the compatriot of Setanta / Cu Chulann the epitome of all Irish aristocratic warriors. 68.Conall Cearnach was also to become the direct male line ancestor of the O Mores / Ui Morda in Co. Laois in the north - west of Southern Leinster, and the O Dunlevys, the Mac Guinness, the Mac Gowans and many other important Irian Families in the Ulster Province, the Connacht Province and in Co. Clare in the north - west  of the Munster Province.  

 219 BC - 210 BC *71.Ionadmhar / Finnat Mar became the Celtic Gaelic Milesian Heberian 87th King of Tara / Erinn, who was a son of *70.Niadh Seaghaiman the previous 83rd Heberian King of Tara / Erin descended from *37.Eber Fionn. (Heberians.)
