Fiacha, son of Fergus
Fergus's son, who goes on to Emain with the sons of Uisliu and throws himself across Noisiu.
Overview
Fergus is held back by ale feasts, and his son Fiacha goes on with the sons of Uisliu to the green at Emain. When Eogan breaks Noisiu's back with a spear, Fiacha pulls Noisiu down in his two arms and throws himself across him, and Noisiu is finished off through Fiacha's body. The text does not say what happens to Fiacha himself.
