By Jalanne Barnes

Tairrdelbach Ua Conchobair's mother was the great-granddaughter of Brian B ru and that legacy meant everything to him. He was taught to respect and admire everything B ru stood for. By the time he was eighteen, he was happy to be still alive, having witnessed some of the tremendous violence that followed the death of Brian B ru.He spent fifty years forcing Ireland to change and evolve. His innovative ideas brought Ireland into European awareness. He came closer to establishing an Irish monarchy than any other man.

When Ua Conchobair (O'Connor) did so, all of Ireland threw themselves behind his cause."Celtic Dragon" is the story of Ireland from 1014-1116. A second book, "Celtic Fire", covers the events of 1116-1250. It will be published by late-2019.While attending University, Dr. Ruth-Anne Harris of Irish Studies, became Jalanne's mentor.
