Adventurer Tim Severin and a crew of four depart in a leather boat from Tralee in County Kerry, Ireland, as part of an effort to prove that the 6th-century monk Saint Brendan of Clonfert could have traveled to North America 900 years before Christopher Columbus.

The 36ft (11m) vessel, named the Brendan, is made from 42 ox hides, and will attempt over the next several weeks to reach North America.

25 years ago today, April 22, 2001, a pizza shop owner heroically defended his pie after it was falsely accused of trashing a local high school.

‘That’s a custom job. Meatball, pepperoni, sausage, peppers, onions….extra mozzarella.’

Since 1770 the village of Hallaton has had an annual Easter Monday battle with locals from the neighbouring village of Medbourne. The day starts with Hare Pie-Scrambling where pieces of pie are blessed and thrown into the crowd, followed by a sport with few rules; Bottle-Kicking.

OTD in 1888 @ John Farrell's field in Birr @officialgaa stages the first ever #hurling All-Ireland final - Thurles of @TipperaryGAA defeating Meelick of @Galway_GAA . The field is now a supermarket but a fine monument now exists, so too the excellent Paul Rouse book The Hurlers

@50YearsAgoLive The Sallins Cases is viewed as one of the most serious miscarriages of justice in recent Irish history. Nicky Kelly later received a significant compensation payment from the state. It is widely accepted that Kelly and the other defendants were not involved in the robbery.

The loss of Len Deighton at 97 is sad, but sadness is temporary.

What endures is his legacy of characters and stories, illustrations and recipes, that have given pleasure to readers around the world for over 60 years.

Thank you, Len.
