ABSTRACT
The sons of Mil advanced to a landing in Inber Slainge. The Tuatha Dé Danann did not allow them to come to land there, for they held not parley with them. By their druidry they caused it to appear to the sons of Mil that the region was no country or island, territory or land at all, in front of them. They encircled Ireland three times, till at last they took the harbour at Inber Scene … they held converse with Ériu in Usnech of Mide. She said to them, ‘Warriors,’ said she, ‘welcome to you. Your coming has been long prophesied. The island will be yours for ever. There is not a better island in the world. No race will be more perfect than your race.’
