Commentary

skyup is of evergrey;

This phrase identifies the fourth of Ireland's "five fifths" or provinces, Connacht.

Ireland has only four provinces today – Ulster, Munster, Leinster and Connacht – but in the early Christian centuries there were five provinces or fifths, the Middle Irish word coiced (Modern Irish: cúigiú) meaning both fifth and province. The fifth province was the royal province that included Tara, the seat of the High Kings of Ireland. It corresponds roughly to the modern counties of Meath, Westmeath and Longford, with parts of Dublin, Offaly and Louth, all of which are now considered to be part of Leinster.
