Just finished reading the Tain and they are alluded to as quite a sizable group and very obviously separate from the main culture/people of the time. Have I been wrong all along? Can anybody shed anymore light on the role of the Picts in Ireland for me?

My Gaelic name is O'Mainnin which is of Pictish origin and pre-Celtic according to my research. The name is found in Galway and Roscommon in the Barony of Tiaquin. There is a Mannin Bay north of Galway. So those Picts at least must have been in that area by the time the Celts arrived.
