When Women Ruled

• The Tain March is an annual march held each year to re-create the infamous footsteps of Queen Maeve and her army, in their journey to capture the strongest bull in Ireland - the Brown Bull of Cooley
• The prized Brown Bull of Cooley was guarded by the mighty warrior Cuchulainn and the story covers the tricks, fierce battles and ruthlessness of the Irish woman to get what she wants
• The story which is the national epic of Ireland stretches from Roscommon to The Cooley Peninsula in Co Louth and was first translated in the early 12th century
• The annual march provides you with the opportunity to become a warrior and be part of Queen Maeve's army for this truly unique glimpse into Celtic folklore
