| Description: | South Dublin Village Walks - Tallaght Step 06: Tuansgate. Tuansgate, another new landmark building is named for a mythological character Tuan Mac Cairill associated with the legend of Parthalon. Originally he had been son of Starn, brother of Parthalon who led a group of people into Ireland in the very distant (and fictional) past. Tuan had lived for a very long time under many different guises (a salmon, a boar, a stag and an eagle). In this manner he had witnessed all the great events which had occurred between the arrival in Ireland of Parthalon and the coming of Christianity. Tuan relayed all this knowledge to St. Finnian, thereby preserving it for posterity. (O'hOgáin, Dáithí. Myth, Legend and Romance). |
