The wikipedia article cited would appear to be an incorrect reference. This states the parent to be a different Blathmac. I suggest the child be removed from this entry and a new line continued. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bran_Mut_mac_Conaill

Thanks Bill, good catch. I fixed it.

The Wikipedia article cited and his name indicate that his father was Aedo Sláine, who was in turn son of Diarmait mac Cerbaill.

Aedo Sláine doesn’t seem to have a profile or isn’t connected here.
