|Summary=It first relates how Éogan (the eponymous ancestor of the Éoganachta) and/or his sons arrive and settle in Ireland, how Éogan (the father or one of his sons) save the population from starvation, and how Éogan's son is chosen to be king. Their peaceful ascendancy is then contrasted with an origin tale of the Dál Cuinn (called children of the "second Míl Espáine"), who rule Ireland by the sword. In the north of the island, they alternately share the kingship with the Cruthin until Conn Cétchathach defeats them in a series of battles. The situation is reversed when Fiachu Araide, progenitor of the Dál Araide, expels Conn's grandson Cormac mac Airt from Tara. Cormac flees to Munster, where he becomes a vassal of Fiachu Muillethan, Éogan's great-grandson, in return for his assistance against Fiachu Araide. Fiachu Muillethan defeats the latter in battle. Cormac is thereby restored to the kingship and grants the lands settled by the Ciannachta to Fiachu Muillethan, who passes them on to Connla mac Taidg. | |Summary=It first relates how Éogan (the eponymous ancestor of the Éoganachta) and/or his sons arrive and settle in Ireland, how Éogan (the father or one of his sons) save the population from starvation, and how Éogan's son is chosen to be king.
