Episode 34 - Diarmuid and the Kingdom Under the Sea

National Leprechaun Museum Talking Stories

Diarmuid, the Fianna's most handsome warrior (thanks to that love spot), shows kindness to a cailleach hag on a stormy night, and wakes up the next morning with a beautiful new wife, an enormous new house, and three wonderful greyhound puppies - life couldn't be better! Paudie tells us how Diarmuid ends up making a mess of it all. Eleanor and Mark discuss how jealousy, immaturity, and insecurity tripped up this relationship, as in anyone's relationship, and discuss how this experience tees Diarmuid up for his great love story, the Pursuit of Diarmuid and Grainne (you might have heard of it!) If you have any question you'd like us to answer, topics you'd like us to discuss, or stories you'd like us to tell, tweet us at @leprechaun_ie with #AskAStoryteller or find us on Instagram @leprechaunmuseum.
