Line 121: Line 122:
When Diarmait learns of this, he sends a charioteer (anonymous) to drag Áed from his hiding place, but his eyes are lost to him as soon as he goes underground. Diarmait confronts Ruadán, who truthfully tells him that he does not know Áed's whereabouts unless he is beneath the king. Diarmait only later realises that Áed was, in fact, hiding beneath his feet and sends a certain Donnán to drag him off. Donnán fails, having lost the strength of his arms when he tried to dig the earth. Both the charioteer and Donnán submit to Rúadán, join his monastery and later become venerated as saints at Poll Rúadáin.
