 The first part is primarily concerned with the saint's position as a mediator and negotiator between the Luigne (or Luigni) of Connacht, of which he was supposedly a member, and the more powerful Luigne of Meath, on whose territory Fore Abbey was founded.The second part focuses more attention on Leinster and the payment of tribute.The Latin and Irish "Lives" both agree that Ailerán of Clonard, a contemporary of St Féchín, had composed an account of the saint's good works.
