The Ó Ceallaigh, or O'Kellys, were the ruling family of Uí Maine in east Galway and south Roscommon from the 10th century to the 16th. They served the kings of Connacht in war, and Tadhg Mór Ua Cellaig fell at Clontarf in 1014. Famous patrons of poets and scholars, they had the Book of Uí Maine compiled in the 14th century.
