No, there are no weasels in Ireland. There are stoats, which some people mistake for weasels, but there are no actual weasels in Ireland.
HARDLY ANYTHING. They are ferocious and fearless - even big cats usually avoid tackling them. Until we invented firearms our ancestors could only kill them by whacking them really hard on the head. Their hides are too tough for arrows and spears to pierce. Incidentally they don't eat honey, it is the bee pupae that attracts them to hives.
