After this he came to the region of Éle and founded a church there, which is now called Tech Tailli mac Ségéni, and stayed there five years. His mother sent word to him there to say that she would come to that place to greet him. He replied to her:
‘Come to the locus called Lugmad and do not proceed further, and I will go forth to the same locus, towards you’.
Then his mother came with the three daughters of Tulchán, namely two penitent women and one virgin. While the mother awaited the arrival of Fintán in the ciuitas of Lugmad, her virgin daughter, struck by pain, died and was buried there. Fintán, however, arrived the following day. When he had seen the new grave he recognised it, saying:
‘This is Conchenn's’.
Then the sorrowful mother came to him, saying:
‘I ask you in the name of the Lord to revive my daughter for me’.
Then Fintán dismissed everyone from his presence and prayed alone that night. On the following day she returned healthy to her home with his mother. And Fintán said to his mother:
‘Be careful not to come to me again. For if you come another time, I will go from the province in which I will be and cross the sea to Britain’.
