    The Burial of King Cormac 27-10-38
    Before King Cormac's death he asked the people to bury him at Ross na Ree because there was where he first knew the true God. At that time all the people in Ireland were pagans, and they had a burying ground called Brúagdh na Bóinne and there's where the pagan people used to be buried.
    King Cormac lived about two hundred years before St. Patrick came to Ireland.
