A couple chosen as the new caretakers of the Great Blasket Island for the next six months have arrived.
For Emily Campbell, 27, originally from Bandon in West Cork and Daniel Regan, 29, from London, being offered the coveted role for six months, which has attracted almost 150,000 applicants over the past five years, “feels like a dream”. This is despite the Co Kerry island having no running water and electricity.
The young couple arrived safely on the island on April 1 and have been busy cleaning out “the cobwebs” in the three cottages after the Winter and “exploring the island.”
