peer-reviewed ; Essentially, the tale was trivial. A scoundrel named Siobharan stole a cockerel, which had been bought at a fair by Father Aengus. A local court quickly denounced the theft and a warrant for his arrest was promptly issued.

But the poet and scribe Aogan 6 Rathaille (1675-1729) found something emblematic, drawing from its mundane universality a tense political specificity that twisted me tale away from the ordinary and placed it into the mythic world of the symbolic.

This should indicate that the prohibition continues but an examination of the debates on the 2005 Act shows that the Oireachtas does not have a clear understanding of practice in the courts.
