Dan Donnelly goes to Croker

Dan Donnelly's Arm is heading off in its travels again in May, this time to Croke Park.

The mummified right arm of the famous pugilist, which has been in the Byrne family's ownership since the early 1950s, has been loaned to an exhibition on 'Fighting Irishmen' organised by New York realtor Jim Houlihan.

The exhibition has attracted large audiences in New York, Boston, and the Irish-American Folk Museum in Omagh.

The Croke Park event runs from May 18-August 31 and will be located in the GAA Museum.
