Leitrim in the north - west of Connacht and nearby in Co. Cavan in what is now the south of the Ulster Province.
The Gailenga Sept and the Luigni Sept were originally two Tuath De Danann Tuaths who were closely linked in Connacht as they were in the Midlands / Midhe / Meath (Northern Leinster) region. In Co.

These were fertile areas around the Moy / Muaidhe estuary, in parts of Co. Sligo, south between Galway Bay and the River Shannon, and also in the east of Co. Roscommon.
