Around Achillbeg

Some footage of the trip around the back of Achillbeg, coming in to land at Corraun House.

On May 12th there was lots of activity at Corraun House. Irish Lights were doing some work, preparing to carry out some repairs on the Achillbeg pier. They airlifted approximately 30 loads of building supplies from the field in front of the house over to the island.

Thunderbolts and lightning, very very frightening…

It’s a Bank Holiday weekend so naturally the weather has taken a downturn. Here are some amazing pictures, taken last night by Ian Boyle. Corraun House and Sweeney’s Pier in the lightning.

Happy Easter everyone!
