Táimíd ag déanamh ár ndícheall achmainn fhairsing le haghaidh litríocht dhúchasach agus ábhair oiliúna den scoth a dhéanamh den chartlann. Más féidir libh cuidiú linn nó má tá moladh ar bith agaibh, téigh i dteagmháil linn anseo le do thoil.

We are working hard to make An Chartlann an extensive resource for native Irish literature and quality educational materials. If you think that you can help us with the archive or if you have any comments or suggestions, please contact us here.

Art shall drink it after forty nights, a mighty hero, until he shall die at Mucruime. Mac Con of the race of Lugaid Loígde, who shall play for a day and a week against Fergus Dubdétach, until they shall die at Bri, through seeking a battle which he shall deliver towards Crinnae. Corbmac shall drink it up; an ancient drink; a pleasant warrior; he shall die at Scoilicc; he shall be a glorious man over her; he shall wash her. Coirpre shall drink it, a fitting contestant with righteousness of rule. Firachri shall demand it; the great deceits of Meath shall advance to the distant sea, till Broadfaced Dáire shall distribute it for a plenteous month. Fécho, unwitting man of fire, from whom they shall be assessed in regard to tax, shall demand it. Muiredach Tírech shall be thirty-yeared. Glorious Crimthann shall bind her with a bond, broad fierce shape beneath foot, till Níall shall be extolled; (...) battles of boundaries, till fierce Loígaire shall be grieved by the coming of the Adzeheads, crossbeams of houses, bent trees, they used to carry blossoms, a rampart, a fort.
