Diorruing, Diorraing, Diaring, Dering, Deering. Fenian hero, friend and attendant of
Fionn mac Cumhaill, member of his
Fianna, and a son of Dobar Ua Baíscne. Diorruing is credited with clairvoyance concerning both events happening concurrently at a distance and those that will occur in the future (i.e.
second sight); he need only shut his eyes and look into the darkness at the back of his head. At the beginning of
Tóraigheacht Dhiarmada agus Ghráinne [The Pursuit of Diarmait and Gráinne], Diorruing tells the aged, lonely Fionn of the one woman in Ireland most worthy of him,
Gráinne.
