There seems to be no good reason for the belief that M222 originated in county Mayo. The reason county Mayo is being banded about, is because earlier this year National Geographic were invited to County Mayo and took one hundred samples. There nothing to rule out that similar results couldn't be obtained by a visit to county Sligo or Donegal. What is of interesting is that Spencer Wells is travelling back to Mayo (this week?) to announce the results of this summer's Mayo testing. However what is the value of these "new" sub M222 SNPs? Did NG have better luck than the M222 project?

There's no less of an argument against it, either. Quite a few dynasties stemming from the Uí Néill are historically seated in present day Connacht. Some argue that the Uí Néill themselves are descended from the south. Agreed on Sligo, Donegal and the rest of Connacht or Scotland in general for contrast.
