A true shillelagh is an Irish wooden walking stick or club. It was made from Oak,
Hazel, Hickory, Ash, and Holly in olden times, but most are made from blackthorn
today, due to the shortage of oak in Ireland. The Shillelagh was not the little short blackthorn stick
that is sold today to the swarm of Irish tourists!
But is a heavy walking stick that can be used
for your personal self-defense. A cudgel or Bata club
is made from Oak, Hickory, Hazel and Ash
that is over 3 feet in height. Irish Shillelagh photo Gallery Irish walking Shillelagh Oak Club Irish Oak Walking SHILLELAGH 51 inches tall

A sprig of shillelagh ! Shil·le·lagh also shil·la·lah
A cudgel of oak, ash, Holly, blackthorn, or other hardwood. IT'S THE SAME OLD SHILLELAGH
Sure 'tis the same old shillelagh, Me Father brought from Ireland. And Divil a man was prouder than he, As He walked with it in his hand. He'd lead the band on Paddy's Day, And twirl it round his mitt. And Divil a bit we'd laugh at it, And old Dad would have a fit. Sure with the same old shillelagh, Me Father could lick a dozen men. As fast as they'd get up, begorrah He'd knock'em down again! And many's the time He used it on me, To make me understand; Sure, 'tis the same old shillelagh, Me Father brought from Ireland. May the roads rise to meet you.
May the wind be at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face;
The rain fall soft upon your fields
And, until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.
