A fully done up terraced city house, done with style and panache and a good build spec, it initially came to market in late April, set to launch at about twice the sum which it last transacted at, just six years ago.
Lack of a pier was one of the main factors in the evacuation of a number of islands, the best known being the Blasket islands off Kerry, which were evacuated in November 1953. There are now three cottages available to rent on the Great Blasket island.
In the early 20th century, scholars visited the Great Blasket to learn Irish and to collect folklore and they encouraged the islanders to record their life stories in their native tongue. The three best known island books are An tOileánach (The Islandman) by Tomás Ó Criomhthain, Peig by Peig Sayers, and Fiche Blian ag Fás (Twenty Years A-Growing) by Muiris Ó Súilleabháin. Former taoiseach Charles J Haughey also kept a residence on his island, Inishvickillaune, which is one of the smaller and less accessible Blasket islands.
This lovely family home is ideally located on the Galway side of Lackagh village, just minutes from all the village amenities. It is a beautifully maintained family home with 0.5 acre of mature gardens.
