The Blasket Island Heritage Center

What I formerly called the “blight” upon the Dun Quin landscape, has actually turned out to be a really nice tribute to the Blasket Island people. It is built to have a low profile, so as not to detract from the view of the landscape, but is still very visible from the Slea Head side of things.

Anyway, 3 Euro let us in to see (another) movie, but this one was well done I think. We then got to take a self guided tour through the facility. There are lots of references to Thomas O’Criomtnin? and others who came afterwards in Irish Literature infamy. We were all very impressed with the exhibits. Well worth looking at if you are ever in Dun Quin.
