Item description
When Díarmait goes on a circuit around Ireland, he travels clockwise (Tara—Leinster—Munster—Connacht—Ulster—Tara), always back in time to celebrate the festival of Tara at Samain. One time, he meets a layman (Banbán, as it turns out later on), who invites the king to a night of entertainment (oígidecht) at his house nearby. Mugain refuses to join Díarmait because an invitation of the king is a bad omen.
