Any chance of ISKA having a go at building a bothy on Inishkea South???

Just 50K!!!


Property Description:
*New to the market - May 2013* Old house and 9 Acres of land on Inishkea South (Island) which is accessible by boat from Blacksod pier. The house is in need of complete renovation and is located close to the pier on the island. Below is some information and a brief history on the Inishkea Islands.

Thanks for posting this Sennen. I was on Inishkea South that day (green jacket on the beach as the boat pulls in - scouting out the new bothy, Conor!)

My first time on the island, travelling on the same boat that brought the RTE crew, but all the way down the coast from Broadhaven and back. Skippered by Gerry Reilly, whose family came in off the island in 1932. Magical coast, and would fill you with yearning to get on the water - roll on Symposium.

I had my copy of Oileain with me and it\'s commentary on the Island was of interest to all. David Cabot, the naturalist, is spending a year on the island, and he also had lots to say. And to round it off had the sweetest, clearest poitin I\'ve ever tasted.

A memorable day.
