Spotted this today, for the price of a small house you can grab a lump of stunning rock off the Donegal coast. I bags the Father McGuire outfit who's going to take the role of Mrs Doyle?

If anyone is wondering just where it is then here is a Google map point.

I think we should send Andy McInroy on a lilo to take some pictures for us.

Looks attractive until you realise you're definitely going to have to give up any sort of internet access.

Oddly enough real living space would end up costing you more than the island itself as there was mention that including shipping the materials you would pay over 200k to build a house there.

I seen that but it's an island in the North Atlantic how much shelter would you need

Rich.H

No doubt the locals of Tory island a little further north would likely have a set of insults for how soft you were with anything more than a sheepskin and hat for shelter.

I show them me and my Aaron tent

Is that like a big jumper?   ;D
