Una who was locked in a room to prevent her escape, became ill and died. Her body was buried on Trinity Island. The story goes that Mac Costelloe swam every night to Una's grave, and he too became ill and finding that he was near death, sent a last request to MacDermot, that he be laid to rest beside his beloved Una. The Chief granted this favour and on his death, the bodies of the two lovers were laid beside each other.
