Murchad Ua Flaithbertaig was
Bishop of Annaghdown .
Ua Flaithbertaig was a member of that branch of the
Muintir Murchada who took the surname
Ó Flaithbheartaigh. His family were originally native to the
Diocese of Annaghdown before been expelled by the
Kings of Connacht and the
de Burgh Earls of Ulster. Nothing particular appears to be known of Murchad's term, though he is credited with the construct (or restoration) of a round tower at Annaghdown in 1238, the last ever to be raised in Ireland.
