Ragnall had at least one son, Ascall, who ruled as king for a brief period in the last half of the century.
Several decades before, the Annals of the Four Masters reports the death of a certain "mac Mic Turgaill" in 1138.
If Ragnall was the leading representative of the family at this point in history, the fact that the deceased individual is not accorded any title could indicate that he was a son of Ragnall.
Another possibility is that this man was instead a son of Torcall himself, or perhaps some other member of the Meic Torcaill.
Another son of Ragnall may be a certain Ragnall mac Ragnaill, styled tigerna Gall ("lord of the foreigners"), who is stated by the Annals of the Four Masters to have attended the great assembly convened by Ruaidrí Ua Conchobair, High King of Ireland in 1167.
The name and title of this Ragnall suggest that he was either an otherwise unattested son of Ragnaill mac Torcaill, or else an annalist's mistake for Ascall himself.
