Dinnshenchas poem on Almu (the Hill of Allen, Co. Kildare).
Medieval Irish story about Máel Suthain Úa Cerbaill, confessor (anm-chara) of Brian Borúma, and his three students from Coinnire (Connor, Co. Antrim), each of whom is named Domnall. Initially reluctant, Máel Suthain lets them go on a pilgrimage to Jerusalem, on the condition that they die in that place together and before ascending to heaven, reveal to him the length of the remainder of his life and his destination after death. After their deaths, Michael the Archangel lets them visit Máel Suthain to tell him his prospects and that hell is in store for him, for three reasons. However, Máel Suthain mends his ways and on the day of his death, he is admitted to heaven. Mention is made of his manuscripts at Inisfallen.
