Saving the Currach of Inis Oírr | Galway News

from Galway News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

Two lifelong friends on Inis Oírr are reviving the legacy of the currach, the traditional Irish boat that once carried their island’s survival—now a fading symbol of heritage. Tomás and Máirtín, raised on these vessels, launched the Aran Currach Experience to teach visitors how to build and row them, sparking a revival that’s drawing locals, schoolchildren, and memories from the past. More than tourism, it’s a living museum keeping alive the spirit of an island shaped by water. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
