“When Tadhg a Dúna became an outlaw, he was hunted from place to place by English soldiers...”
When Tadhg a Dhúna became an outlaw, he was hunted from place to place by English soldiers, but after some time he lived in a hovel in Daireach. The bard Dómhnall a Tuile composed the following verse on his condition at the time:-Ní Tadhg a Dúin d'ainm
Ach, Tadhg gan Dún gan Daingean,
Tadhg gan bean gan capall
I mbothaínín íseal deataigh.Another poem by Dómhnall a Tuile about the McCarthys (glas) :-O, Gleannachroim of song and story,
Gone are now thy pride and glory,
The royal McCarthys rule no more
As they did in days of yore,
But thy great and glorious name
Shall live in history and in fame
Like a beauteous haunting dream
Lovely ancient GleannachroimDate of writing in this book
