Mael Isa is recorded as a generous benefactor to Coman's monastery. His father had bestowed upon it a relic known as An Bachall Buidhe, which contains a portion of the True Cross brought to Ireland in 1123. It is now known as the Cross of Cong.
Though Gaelic clerics could and did marry, it is not known for certain if Mael Isa had any offspring.
