Maps of the freeports here.... Not really ports at all more like swathes of this country

Huge area with no regulation, no planning controls, no tax revenue, no customs where corporations control everything.

Have you been? I know the chap who runs the club/pub/shop/community centre thing there and we were planning a seaborne invasion before the Plague hit. We might get round to it at some point.

I observed delivery of two sheep by Currach on Saturday

I’d also recommend Inishbofin Island,if only for the waitress at the Inishbofin House Hotel who has recently graduated in performing arts in Cork …

There are actually two Inishturk Islands

The one closest to Clare Island is a private island . The larger one is close to Inishbofin
