Leth Cuinn and Leth Moga are names for the two halves of Ireland, the dividing line running from Dublin to Galway Bay. As terms they were designed to represent the political hegemony of the
Uí Néill in Leth Cuinn (Conn's half) in the north of the island, and that of the
Eóganacht (Leth Moga—Mug Nuadat's half) in the south, a division which was supposed to have taken place in remote prehistory when the sons of Míl conquered Ireland. This model reflects the aspirations of Eóganacht kings of Munster rather than political realities, since Munster kings only rarely controlled the peoples of Leinster.
