Wren Day, also known as Wren's Day or the Day of the Wren (Lá an Dreoilín), celebrated on St Stephen's Day.
The tradition is very much on the wane now but in some few localities Wrenboys still go out in Ireland on St. Stephens Day. The central theme of the wrenboy visit is the wren, an effigy of which is carried about in a holly branch or in a box or cage. Previously it was hunted and killed prior to St. Stephen’s Day and a matter of honour for groups to have a real bird.
Why, of all birds, is the…

A "lost" 4,000-year-old tomb has been rediscovered on the Dingle Peninsula in Co Kerry.
The megalithic tomb known locally as Altóir na Gréine (the sun altar) was believed to have been completely destroyed in the 1840s, with its stones broken and carried away for use as building material.
While the existence of a tomb "near" Baile an Fheirtéaraigh is documented in 19th century antiquarian literature, a record of the monument's location did not exist.
An 1838 sketch of the tomb, its reputed association with the sun and its strange disappearance has been a source of intrigue for archaeologists for decades.
The folklorist has not only found the prehistoric site, but he has also discovered some of the large stones, which had been believed to have been removed, still in situ.
A number of orthostats (large upright stones) have survived, as well as a large capstone, while more may lie under the dense undergrowth.

Over the next few hundred years they spread east and west across Europe. The Celts first arrived in Ireland about 500 BC, there is no reliable information on how or when the Celts became the dominant…

Kim bodyslams Kerry every Christmas. It’s their first Christmas with V and Kim sneaks into their bedroom, literally walked right past the bedroom her mom is in, and decked her 90 something dad in the gut. And to make it worse, he woke up to V hiding his laughter in a pillow.
“My child just body slammed me and your laughing? Eff you.” (Can’t swear in front of children)
