Irish Fairy Tales, Chapter VI, sentence 42

But that did not prevent Goll from killing Fionn’s brother Cairell later on, nor did it prevent Fionn from killing Goll later on again, and the last did not prevent Goll from rescuing Fionn out of hell when the Fianna-Finn were sent there under the new God.

Who acts: that, Fianna, last · What happens: not prevent, kill on, do, prevent, kill, rescue · To what, where: Goll, Cairell, Fionn, hell, Fianna Finn
