Clan Cremhthainn origin

From the Book of Lecan:

Clann Cremthaind Murchatan, mac Sochlachain, mic Diarmata, mic Fergusa, mic Murchada, mic Duib-da-Thuath, mic Daimine, mic Daimdairi, mic Ailella, mic Coirbine, mic Aeda, mic Crimthaind Chaeil, mic Lugdach, mic Dallain, mic Bresail, mic Maine Moir.

J.V.Kelleher says in "Ui Maine in the Annals and Genealogies, Celtica Vol. 9, p.75,"Cathal is most likely s.o. Murchad, king of Ui Maine, who died in 780-of Clan Chremthainn."
