dáil (O.Ir.
dál, originally a meeting, tryst, or encounter of any kind, sometimes amatory or hostile, was used by extension in the
brehon law tracts for a lawsuit, or legal sentence, and in medieval Irish annals for a political assembly or church synod. The
comhdháil at Athboy under Rory O'Connor(Ruaidrí Ua Conchobair) in 1167, attended by lay and ecclesiastical leaders of the northern half of Ireland with 13,000 horsemen, which ‘reached many good decisions about … churches and … territories’, approximates most closely to an embryonic
parliament rather than a simple church synod, and the
Four Masters' record of this meeting probably inspired the 20th‐century use of the term. Later we find the word used in 1433 of a peace conference between hostile territories.
