In this lesson, we will explore the concept of making things right after a wrong has been committed. To help illustrate this concept, we will be looking at an example from Irish mythology.

In the story of “The Cattle Raid of Cooley,” we see how Cú Chulainn makes restitution for killing the watchdog of Culainn the Smith. In doing so, he not only makes amends for his mistake but also goes above and beyond to make things right.

This story is just one example of how restitution can be an important aspect of taking responsibility for one’s actions and making things right after causing harm or damage.

Lesson Outcomes:

• Understand the concept of restitution and its importance in taking responsibility for one’s actions
• Examine the example of Cú Chulainn from Irish mythology and analyze how he made restitution for his mistake
• Explore different ways in which restitution can be made and the consequences of not making restitution
