"De Bhulbh: “… the name of a Meath family who were chiefs of Cinel Laoghaire, near Trim, until the Anglo-Norman invasion. They derive their name and descent from Caoindealbhán (died 925), the lineal descendant of Laoghaire, son of Niall of the Nine Hostages…. The name is still in Meath… in other parts of Leinster… and it is found in all the counties of Munster.” "
