According to the Met Bulletin - Northern Ireland has 2 approved mets -
Bovedy (L3 fall 1969) Crumlin (L5 fall 1902) Grady's Catalogue of Meteorites reveals an additional 5 meteorites for Ireland, in addition to the 2 for Northern Ireland - that makes a total of 7. Limerick (H5 fall, 1813) Dundrum (H5 fall, 1865) Mooresfort (H5 fall, 1810) Killeter (H6 fall, 1844) Pettiswood (unclassified fall, 1779) Some observations - The Irish have sharp eyes. Every approved meteorite from that nation is a witnessed fall. So, the original poster that inquired about his suspect specimen could be right in his assertion - there are no FINDS from Ireland, only falls.
