That would be an oddity in pedigrees if the Dal Fiatach turned out to be M222. There's no link to the Dal Cuinn anywhere in sight. Here's Dunlevy pedigree from O'Clery: GENELACH .H.

This is one of the pedigrees O'Rahilly would have labeled Erainn from the name Daire. Some think that is connected to the Darini of Ptolemy's map. They appear near the Robogdii whom most think are the Dal Riata and the Voluntii which most think are the Ulaidh. I was puzzled though by the amount of M222 that seemed to appear in Maguinness samples. Let us lift our heads at Craebh Ruadh,158 Let us enumerate the chief kings of Uladh,159 The lands of hospitality, with spears, The O'Duinnsleibhes,160 the O hEachadhas.161 160. O'Duinnsleibhe, otherwise called MacDuinnsleibhe, and now anglicised Donlevy, without either prefix. This family lost its ancient rank shortly after the English invasion, and a branch of them removed to Tirconnell, where they became physicians to O'Donnell. Some of them passed into Scotland, where they made the name Dunlief and Dunlap, and others have changed it to Livingston. See Annals of Four Masters, A.D. 1149, 1178, 1227, 1395, 1586. 161. O'h-Eochadha.- This family was of the same race as O'Duinnsleibhe, and also lost its ancient dignity about the same time. It is now anglicised Haughey, Haugh, and Hoey, without the O'. See Annals of Four Masters, 1114, 1164, 1172, 1194. These notes are by O'Donovan. I don't know where the idea that they migrated to Donegal came from. There is an oddity in the Leabhor Clann Suibhne that mentions a Dunlevy family in descent from the MacSweeneys of Donegal.. "Of Toirrdhealbhach of Béal Atha Daire, the next chieftain, there is no record in the Annals. His descendants are said to have assumed the name of Mac Duinnshléibhe,^7 now known as ' Dunlevy". There's a writeup of the Dunlevys in Donegal in Donegal History and Society. It states the first Dunlevy on record in Donegal is Muirchetach mac an Ultaigh sl. 1281 along with an O Domhnall. Then it mentions a physician Muiiris mac Poil Ultagh who d. 1395, chief physician of the Cenel Conaill. Somewhere, I can't remember where, I read a somewhat critical view of this descent. Mac an Ultaigh just means son of the Ulster man. The surname is not traced in the O'Clery genealogies and the writer speculated that the Utlaghs of Donegal simply adopted the idea that their Ulster ancestors were the O'Donlevys of east Ulster (KIngs thereof). What the truth is I do now know. John
