    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[&quot;Very few stories are told of mermaids in this district as it is too far from the sea. The mermaid or &#039;maigdean mara&#039; is very attractive. Once upon a time a glan man who made a station in Lough Derg returned home by Bundoran. He spent a few hours there and while he was walking along the shore he saw a beautiful girl in distress in the water. She was in danger in the water so he rushed in to save her But this was no earthly maid but a mermaid who dragged himself into the water and was drowned.<br />
<br />
It is said that his wife was expecting him home next day, so she arose very early. When she looked out she saw him driving the cows through a field near his own home. Before long afterwards she heard of his death.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>
