Fionn is buried in a cave that is open only once every two or three hundred years. One day, about two hundred years ago, a man heading home from work saw the cave, and went in to investigate. There he saw a big giant of a man lying there, with a sword stuck through him. On the sword was written: &#8216;Remove the sword, and Ireland will be free.&#8217; He draws the sword part of the way out of the giant&#8217;s body, but when the corpse began to move his head, the man becomes afraid, and pushes the sword back again. The giant &#8211; Fionn Mac Cumhaill &#8211; then addresses the man, saying that if he had only withdrawn the sword, he would have risen up and hurled England into the sea, freeing Ireland. Now it will be a long time before the cave is open again, and Ireland will remain under English domination all that time.<\/p>\n<div class=\"n\u00f3ta\u00ed-bun-leathanaigh\">\n<h2 id=\"t:notai\">Notes<\/h2>\n<p>This story has international cognates; see AT 766 &#8216;The Magic Sleep.&#8217; Parallels are to be found with the story of &#8216;Holger the Dane&#8217; and also with Arthurian legends.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"templates\/template-full-width.php","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-526","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-scealaiocht"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.joeheaney.org\/ga\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/526","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.joeheaney.org\/ga\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.joeheaney.org\/ga\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.joeheaney.org\/ga\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.joeheaney.org\/ga\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=526"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.joeheaney.org\/ga\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/526\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1466,"href":"https:\/\/www.joeheaney.org\/ga\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/526\/revisions\/1466"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.joeheaney.org\/ga\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=526"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.joeheaney.org\/ga\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=526"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.joeheaney.org\/ga\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=526"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
