Treasure-trove saga ends with Irish Supreme Court ruling
In a eight-year legal battle over the Derrynaflan hoard near Derrynaflan Abbey in County Tipperary, the Webb family receives about 40 000 each plus legal costs after the Supreme Court says the treasure belongs to the nation but acknowledges their praiseworthy conduct. The find, valued at 9 million dollars, prompts a national push for treasure law reform as archaeologists uncover hundreds more items and the chalice heads to the National Museum.
