Aisling Costello - Baskin Island Caretaker - 01/09/26

 |Aisling Costello – from Kilkenny was on the show in March. She and her partner Conor Jones from Wexford were about to take over as caretakers of Great Blasket Island. The young couple left their jobs and city life in Cork to become the new caretakers of the Great Blasket Island – despite having never even visited it before. They arrived on the island off Co Kerry on April 1 – and their new home for six months has no hot water, full-time mobile phone coverage or wifi. Their only source of electricity is from a small wind-powered turbine. They will be thee until October and she will give an update of how they are getting on so far
