I think this was actually a reference to the Uí Drona, a people whose territory was roughly coterminous with the modern barony of Idrone in county Carlow. I think they were considered a Leinster tuath (territorial group). Francine Nicholson %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
