Emma Melay from Wexford and Darren McFadden from Kildare will become the new caretakers of the Great Blasket Island next month
Two secondary school teachers who are taking a break from their careers due to “rising rent” pressures are this year’s new caretakers on the Great Blasket Island.
He continued: “We worked in Tigh Ruairi on Inis Oirr on the Aran Islands for several months and have been travelling around Ireland in a camper van and it’s been fantastic.” “We’ve been keeping an eye on the couples who were chosen for the caretaker role for some time now and despite thousands and thousands of people applying, we said we would give it a go.
“I was a tour guide in the past and any time I was in Dingle and around the area I’d always make sure to stop and look over at the Great Blasket Island as I just love the view and everything it has to offer.”
