  1. Old Irish Stories

    Share Share Post
    The favourite story seems to be Oisin's trip to Tír na nÓg with Niamh of the Golden Hair; his return to Ireland on horseback; the loss off his youth and finally his companion-ship with St. Patrick.
    Several pupils recounted the story of Setanta's encounter with Culan's hound and hence the origin of the name Cúchulan.
    The story of Queen Maeve's Cattle Raid has many admirers also.
    It is locally believed that Fionn Mac Cool is buried beneath the Moat in St. Mullins.
