Diarmuid Donn Mac Duibhne “the master and charmer of women” was a member of the Fianna of Fionn Mac Cumhaill and one of his closest friends.  Diarmuid, however, committed the unforgivable sin of eloping with Fionn’s bride-to-be, the beautiful Gráinne.  For many years they were on the run from Fionn and the Fianna and wandered through Connacht and Munster.  They eventually made their peace with Fionn through the goodwill of Aongus, but in his heart Fionn never forgave Diarmuid.  Fionn lured Diarmuid to the top of Ben Bulben, Co. Sligo and left him alone to face a fierce wild boar.  After a long fight Diarmuid managed to kill the beast but was mortally gored himself.  Fionn refused him the only thing that could save him, a draught of water from the hands of Fionn, who had the gift of healing.  Twice Fionn brought water to Diarmuid and twice let it flow through his fingers, and by the third time he brought water, Diarmuid was dead.
