We've all heard of feuds being resolved through the use of baseball bats, yet here is the more patriotic Irish version - hurleys.

The above footage - shot on Henry Street yesterday evening - shows two crowds resolve their differences by attempting to smack one another across the head with a pair of hurls, with the Tourism Office clearly visible in the background.

Quite an advert for the country, we're sure you'll agree...

Since being uploaded by a YouTube user last night, the clip has gone viral, receiving over 3,000 views and a flurry of comments, with viewers shocked by the behaviour of the fight's unnamed participants.
