In this episode, we tell the story of the birth and boyhood of one of Ireland’s greatest heroes: Fionn Mac Cumhaill. But this story isn’t about Fionn, so much as it is about the women who raised him, shaped him, and made him the man he was. We talk about the place of the Fianna in old Irish society, and the women of the Fianna who have been forgotten.
The article we talk about after the story is here, for any of you who would like to have a read:
