  Notes	WARNING (see image below) This profile derives from a genealogy going back to Adam, constructed by Archdeacon Ralph de Diceto for William, King of Scots. Expert historians do not agree on dates for individuals in this period of Scots/Irish history Biography Research Notes Eochad Riada (the same as Caipre Riada), son of Conaire, son of Mog Lama is listed as an ancestor of William, King of Scots by Ralph de Diceto in his Imagines Hlstoriarum; and included by Allan Orr Anderson in his Scottish annals from English chroniclers, A.D. 500 to 1286 Cairpre Riata, ancestor of the Dál Riata; & of the Síl Conairi (Carbrey alias Eochaid Riada, a quo Dal Riada in Scotland) Parts of the northern Irish counties of Antrim and Derry once comprised the ancient territory of Dalriada, named after Cairbre Riada, son of Conaire, the second monarch of Ireland in the second century. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conaire_C%C3%B3em Looking at the disputed dates for the father: The Lebor Gabála Érenn synchronises his reign with that of the Roman emperor Commodus (180–192).[2] The chronology of Geoffrey Keating's Foras Feasa ar Éirinn dates his reign to 136–143,[3] that of the Annals of the Four Masters to 157–165.[4] His children including the one on this profile: Conaire had three sons by Conn's daughter Saraid. From his third son came the Síl Conairi, named after Conaire Cóem himself or his ancestor Conaire Mór. Cairpre Músc, ancestor of the Múscraige and Corcu Duibne Cairpre Baschaín, ancestor of the Corcu Baiscind Cairpre Riata, ancestor of the Dál Riata So, Father's dates from above earliest 136 and latest 180 as the start of this reign. Latest date of death is 192. So all of the children would need to be born prior to 192 as worst case. I think we can safely put before 275 as a date of death allowing for a long life which was not really the norm back then.
