I was given a bunch of links by someone else who is doing Irish research, so I'm attempting to go through them. It's likely going to take me a while, but here's the beginning of my foraging. Addendum: many of the following links were not directly given to me, but were links from links. I simply wanted to pull out what I could on Ireland. There are two SCA links at the very bottom of this post that many of these links originated. I only include them, because they have SCA sources for other cultures beyond Irish and they might be helpful in other avenues of research.
One of the links lead me to the Internet Medieval Sourcebook, which I'd visited before, but had forgotten was there. There is a section on the Celtic World, which is likely about as close to Ireland as we're going to get specifically on this site, but who knows, maybe with a little more digging I'll find more. (http://www.fordham.edu/halsall/sbook1g.html)
There was also a site I had never seen before, The Online Medieval & Classical Library [tho this one has little to nothing to do with Irish research, I just found it an interesting site for later perusal]. (http://omacl.org/)
Directory of Sources for Women's History in Ireland is another site that was given to me, but it's simply entries for books, no real concrete information available directly online. The only entry for medieval resources appears to be in the National Archives of Ireland (Dublin), which I've linked previously. (http://www.nationalarchives.ie/wh/introduction.html#contents)
Another site I'd visited previously and found in the links she gave me was The ORB: On-line Reference Book for Medieval Studies. Just typing 'Ireland' into their search engine produced 99 matches, so this one is likely a good jumping-off place for further research and reading. (http://www.the-orb.net/)
NetSerf, now this one is interesting and I recall having been here before as well, tho it was a long time ago. Using the criteria as previously, I put in 'Ireland' and this time 78 hits came up. Worth looking through again later. (http://www.netserf.org/)
The Ecole Initiative (Early Church History on the World-Wide Web) looks like it might be an interesting site, but it only has an index and not a search function. This could make research a bit more challenging, but who knows what you can find sometimes. (http://www2.evansville.edu/ecoleweb/)
I did find this link rather interesting. It's concerning the birth of Scotland, but according to this site, it's saying Scotland was founded by the Irish (fabled anyway). Whether that's true or not remains to be seen, but adding the link here seemed appropriate. It might help sort things out concerning origins and otherwise later.

Here's another site using the Irish begat Scotland tact dealing with the Scots Kings with the second link being Irish Kings. (http://www.magoo.com/hugh/scotskings.html) (http://www.magoo.com/hugh/irishkings.html)

Because the men of Ulster are afflicted by a debilitating curse, the seventeen-year-old Cuchulain must defend Ulster single-handedly. (http://vassun.vassar.edu/~sttaylor/Cooley/)
