A forest that's older than the whole of creation? That's very clever!
“These trees are in their original growth position and hadn’t keeled over, which would suggest that they died quite quickly, perhaps in a quite rapid sea level rise,” said Prof Williams.
Sounds to me like the Great Flood.

Heh I was thinking same thing on reading it. Naturally though, I just disregard their dating of it because lol they never get the date right anyways. Firstly we know the carbon dating is wildly inaccurate. And secondly even with the wildly inaccurate cabon dating the headline is somewhat misleading as the article shows it has a widely variable date.
"He has found tree stumps in south Mayo and Clare, as well as Galway, which have been carbon dated to between 5,200 and 7,400 years ago."
Regardless of date though, let's think of dating in terms of events. This forest got wiped out ere long ago Got wiped out fast. Seems like it got wiped out by a lot of water.
Yup, sounds like a Great Flood to me.
EDIT: Not trying to sound too crabby though because this is a sweet article and find though for sure!

If you actually read the article, Ireland's west coast was subject to tidal rises every year, it sits right on the Atlantic ocean. It's due to tidal influence, not a massive worldwide flood. It also happened before the formation of the bay, meaning these trees were further out towards sea as the cliffs became lower.
2+2 does not equal 5.
And if you accept carbon dating for these trees, you're gonna have to accept it for the millions of years old things we've found.
