In particular, why it was that those modernization projects were so kind of late to come, and I guess how that really impacted what it was like to live on the island during that time.

Yeah, I suppose Inishman and Inishere were a bit different to Inishmore in that sense because we never had a safe harbour basically.

where our cargo ship, our cargo service could dock.

It was basically too small and tidal and all the rest and not sheltered enough for most days.

Minishmore was very lucky to have Kilrowman Harbour, natural harbour basically, and it made I suppose life was a bit easier for them in that sense, but our two islands were kind of kept back in time, in a sense, because of that.

And again, that's why the Coraths were so important.

four or two islands, and still are.

That's something that everybody who's listening might not know, but just really just lay out the sort of basics of... of these vessels and what they were like and what they're used for?
