Oldest Hurley Ever Found in Ireland | Ireland News

Archaeologists in Limerick have unearthed what may be Ireland’s oldest hurley—a 7th-century willow stick, 53 inches long and still unfinished, hinting at a bustling medieval workshop. Found alongside bowls and hoops in Mungret, this carved wooden object matches ancient texts describing stick-and-ball games, possibly ancestors of hurling and camogie. Terms like “immáin” and “cammán” suggest multiple games, while tales of Cú Chulainn paint vivid scenes of organized play. Though only one other medieval hurley exists for comparison, this find’s design strongly supports its identity as an early “cammán,” offering a rare glimpse into Ireland’s sporting past.

Mealtime Mayhem in a Murder Trial | Ireland News

A murder trial in Cork hit a bizarre pause when accused Daniel Hourigan refused to eat his lunch—claiming chicken goujons and chips were “unpalatable and insufficient,” delaying proceedings by 50 minutes. The judge sympathized but reminded everyone nourishment matters, not gourmet meals. The next day, he settled for chicken curry and the trial resumed. Meanwhile, his co-defendant Linda O’Flynn, initially his companion then partner, was compared to a horror movie villain by the defense. The jury didn’t know they’d stood trial together before, both charged with murder and blaming each other—so tense it ended with O’Flynn hurling a Coke bottle at Hourigan (missing him, hitting a lawyer). She later pleaded guilty to covering up the crime and got seven and a half years. Despite the chaos, the jury found Hourigan guilty, with damning evidence sealing his fate.
