|Description=The king and the saint attend the gathering at Uisnech, which lasts a fortnight. Suddenly, a great drought seizes the land and many 'four-footed' creatures die thereof.

This miracle is cited as the reason why his church is entitled to a common tribute (''cána choitchinn'') throughout Ireland. In the presence of the men of Ireland, Diarmait submits to Ciarán, offering the services of himself and of his children. | |Description=The king and the saint attend the gathering at Uisnech, which lasts a fortnight.
