Title A name given to the resource Leprechauns and Mermaids Subject The topic of the resource Lough Derg--Oral history--Folklore--Mermaids Description An account of the resource "Very few stories are told of mermaids in this district as it is too far from the sea. The mermaid or 'maigdean mara' 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. 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."
