Live Irish Myths episode 98: Major new revelations about Newgrange

In light of the breaking news about the study of the bones at Newgrange, it is incumbent upon me to take the opportunity to discuss this major breakthrough on tonight's episode.
An international team of archaeologists and genetecists has revealed that an adult male buried in the chamber of the Newgrange passage-tomb around 5,200 years ago might have been among a "ruling social elite". The study was led by Trinity College Dublin (TCD) and the results are published in the journal Nature.

Analysis of the fragmented bone remains of the man, which were excavated by Prof. Michael O'Kelly during the 1960s, reveals him to be the offspring of parents who were very closely related. His parents were first-degree relatives, and possibly even brother and sister.
For decades, we have wondered about who the people buried inside Newgrange actually were. Now we have at least some of the answers!
