- (continued from previous page)he set a dog on the Saint in an attempt to drive him from the district. Patrick cursed Cairbre and he said that no fish would hence forth be caught on the south side of the Erne. Patrick blessed Conal Gulben and his son Fergus and prophesied that a great saint named Colum cille would be born of his race.
- When St Colum cille came to Assaroe he was sad to see the fish unable to ascend the Falls with ease so he made the rocks sink down to allow the fish up. This depression of rock may still be seen at Assaroe.
