Could someone please tell me are these correct!

Derivation of the surname; "brí na sloinne" the "an" is not required.
I wouldn't use fréamh - (root) for origin. Foinse is a better word.
Foinse sloinnte na hÉireann
Foinse na sloinnte Éireannacha
Ainm agus Sloinne i Stair na hÉireann - if you mean the history of the country.
Ainm agus Sloinne i Stair na nGael - if you mean the people.
Sept is usually the translation of "fine". But if you are using Uí, the sept is implied.
Muintir almost always refers to a nuclear family.

Sorry: Foinse is wrong, it means source.
Bunús is the word I was looking for.
Bunús sloinnte na hÉireann.
BTW, I am slightly puzzled at the the reference to an Uí Neill sept. The Uí Neill are the descendants of Niall Naoi ghiallach, and are split into numerous septs. |
