The Triads of Ireland - Trecheng Breth Féne

The three households of Ireland - the household of Tara, the household of Cashel, the household of Crúachan.

@Muinchille Jonathan, apologies.

@TriadsofIreland See you then...

I am taking a break for a couple of weeks and I will be back then. Táim ag tóg sos ar feadh cúpla seactain agus beidh mé ar ais ansin. :-)

@Muinchille Thanks Jonathon 👍

@justrena Thanks a million. You too👍

Three preparations of a bad man's house - strife before you, complaining to you, his hound taking hold of you. Image - Desmond Kinney Mosaic

Three things whereby the devil shows himself in man - by his face, by his gait, by his speech. commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Kell…

Three rejoicings that are worse than sorrow - the joy of a man who has defrauded another, the joy of a man who has perjured himself, the joy of a man who has committed parricide. commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Titi…

Three rejoicings followed by sorrow - a wooer’s, a thief’s, a tale-bearer’s. commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Othe…

The three worst welcomes - a handicraft in the same house with the inmates, scalding water upon the feet, salt food without a drink. commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Unkn…

@KevDaly 😁

Three keys that unlock thoughts - drunkenness, trustfulness, love. commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:John…

@Muinchille Very good 😁

@TriadsofIreland Isn't it cheating if two add together to make the third?

46 Céin·mair ’na luing indḟota oca·mbíat a lennata oc imram ard allata íar n-ingnais a mennata. “Blessed in his long-prowed boat he who has with him his sweethearts, rowing proud and glorious after losing his homely place.” /3

Three free ones that make slaves of themselves - a lord who sells his land, a queen who goes to a boor, a poet’s son who abandons his father's craft. commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Cleo…

@siskey That's the one :-)

@KingDonncha1 Go cinnte :-)

@TriadsofIreland Bhí siad sin againn ar feadh 4 bliana!

Three things that are worst for a chief - sloth, treachery, evil counsel.

Three wonders concerning the Táin Bó Cuailnge - that the cuilmen came to Ireland in its stead, the dead relating it to the living, viz. Fergus mac Róig reciting it to Ninníne the poet in the time of Cormac mac Fáeláin, one year's protection to him to whom it is recited.
