Shawn Láidir wishing to clear a space for the opposing parties meet on went over to an apple cart and took the donkey which was unharnessed by the side of the cart. Catching the donkey by the tail he raised him up + swung him around + flung him right over a tent and into the midst of the crowd scattering the people in all directions.
The leader of the Cooleens" asked who did the act to which the apple-woman answered "Sé Doody Óg Ó Dubháth". On hearing this the opposing leader called his men together held a council of war and advised them to go home quietly.
