  • Former Limerick hurling manager reported to gardaí over waterway blockade Obstruction of a watercourse (criminal offence) · Co. Limerick

    On 5 September 2025, former Limerick senior hurling manager Tom Ryan, a dairy farmer, blocked the Loughmore Canal from entering his land in Ballynoe, Mungret, County Limerick, amid a long-running dispute with Limerick City and County Council. The council's solicitors wrote to him that day describing the action as unlawful and a criminal offence, and the council reported him to gardaí. Council staff dismantled the blockade on 8 September, and Ryan vowed to re-block the canal. The council has said it will seek High Court orders to stop the action if it continues, and this was the latest development reported on 10 September 2025.
