The Irish Auchinlecks

Hello,
I am writing from Ireland. Auchinleck is a noble name in this country, with famous Tyrone connections like Sir Claude `The Auk` Auchinleck who commanded the British forces for a while against Rommell in North Africa; Captain Dan Auchinleck, who fought in the Boer war and in WW1, dying in combat in 1914 ; Hugh Auchinleck, College of Surgeons, Dublin who chaired a famous sporting organisation in Dublin to revive the ancient traditional Irish game of hurling in 1882 and Armar and Alex Auchinleck, who played hurling for Bundoran, Co. Donegal, Ireland circa 1906. Armar may have been the Armar Leslie Auchinleck who was killed in the First World War in 1916 while serving with the Scottish Rifles (not sure of this?).
Has anyone got information on the Irish Auchinlecks? Anthing at all would be appreciated....an amazing family, worth researching.
Billy Finn, Ballyshannon, Co. Donegal, Ireland.
