Unisex T-shirt - King of Tara

Rí na Teamhrach – King of Tara is inspired by the legendary High King of Ireland, Cormac Mac Airt, son of Art the Lonely and grandson of Conn of the Hundred Battles.

Known in myth as Cormac Long Beard, he is said to have been a wise and just ruler of Tara, one of the most important royal sites in ancient Ireland.

According to Irish legend, Cormac was stolen as a baby by wolves and raised among them before being returned to his father’s court, where his wolf companions are said to have followed him.

In the tale Cormac’s Adventure in the Land of Promise, the sea god Manannán Mac Lir tricks Cormac into exchanging his family for a magical branch that bears golden apples, which play enchanting music. When the spell breaks, Cormac embarks on a journey to the Otherworld to recover what he has lost.

Medieval sources describe him as “wise, valiant, and mild”. He is also associated with the era of Fionn Mac Cumhaill and the Fianna.

Shona from Mireog has screen-printed this design in her studio in Co. Waterford using water-based inks onto soft 100% organic cotton Earth-Positive t-shirts.

These t-shirts are ethically made using renewable wind and solar energy, ensuring a low-impact and sustainable production process.

Mireog

Mireog works across two quite different mediums, and somehow both feel like the same brand: greeting cards that lean properly Irish — a couple of the Christmas ones are printed in Irish alongside English — and a wide run of unisex and women's t-shirts printed with Irish mythology, folklore and language rather than logos or slogans. Gráinne, the Raven, a Black Sheep, a fiddle player mid-tune, Tír Gan Teanga ("land without language"), Ciaróg, Smugairleroin, Dinn Rí, the King of Tara, a Rebel Goddess — each design borrows a name or image from Irish myth and turns it into something you'd genuinely wear, not a tourist tee. The cards side is smaller but just as considered: a leafy heart design, birthday cards in Irish, and Christmas cards including a reindeer print and a couple with Irish greetings built in. Whether you're after a card that says something in the cúpla focal or a t-shirt that starts a conversation about who exactly Gráinne was, this is a range built for people who'd rather wear or send a story than a slogan. Good for anyone proud of their Irish, learning it, or just quietly into the mythology. Delivered across Ireland.
