He was king of an area roughly corresponding to the two counties of Mayo and Sligo. The last Taoiseach to be elected under these was Tadhg Buí O'Dubhda (Blonde Teige) who was inaugurated in 1595. The club had defeated the reigning SPL champions Rangers 3–2 in the third round,[26] and also defeated another top flight club Dundee United on penalties in the quarter-finals. He was elected according to the old Irish laws and sometimes there was dispute over the leadership. As the use of surnames became more widespread, descendants continued to use the name O'Dubhda to distinguish their own royal family. After the creation of the SPL in 1998, its strict stadium criteria – to which Brockville Park did not conform – was enforced, and the club was denied promotion on three occasions. As a result, Falkirk has won or finished runners-up in the second tier of Scottish football a record 14 times, the majority occurring in this period. Falkirk, under the management of Gary Holt for the first time, took a 3–0 half time lead, though Hibernian made a comeback to confirm their place in the final with a 4–3 win (AET). In their early years, Falkirk played at three venues: Hope Street, Randyford Park and Blinkbonny Park. His grandson Daithi ("Daw-hee") also became king and was killed by lightning about A.D. 445. [40] After one season, Falkirk moved to Randyford Park, the home of East Stirlingshire Cricket Club during the summer months, in 1878 was where the club played its first competitive match, which it won against Campsie Glen of Lennoxtown in the Scottish Cup. [45] To commemorate the club's time at the stadium, the supermarket displays Falkirk F.C. As a result, the club was denied entry to the league, despite winning the First Division or qualifying for a promotion play-off, on three occasions. On 21 February 1953, Falkirk's largest home attendance was recorded at the ground when 23,100 spectators watched the club play against Celtic in the third round of the Scottish Cup.[39][44].

After 1945, Falkirk were promoted and demoted between the Premier and First Divisions seven times until 1995–96, and during the 1970s spent three seasons in the Second Division. This manuscript, known as the Great Book of Lecan, was written near Enniscrone in Tireragh between A.D. 1397 and 1418, and now is carefully preserved as one of the Irish national treasures in Dublin. Gary Holt left the managers post in June 2014 to join Norwich on their coaching team.
