[@magamagaaa]

Folks if you are ever on the fence about visiting these islands while in Ireland I promise you its an amazing part of Ireland.

[@paulyoung1172]

Idyllic and such a mature thinking woman, a credit to her nation

[@skp8738]

Hats off to her hard work!

“Is there a man looking at you, with a t-shirt saying ‘I shot JR’?” “Actually, there is.” “Ah, you're here so!”

“Would you believe my own dog did that to me? Doesn’t it look like a face!”

[@davidh6543]

You would think they should report on Mr. Benson's whistle being stolen, it's like boyz n the hood over there.

[@darraghbrad6248]

Cowboys!!! Ted.

[@cbyod]

Sure what would I know, I'm from Donegal.

[@anonUK]

Three questions: 1. What exactly happened to the West side of the island? 2. Does it have anything to do with the old glow-in-the-dark being dumped nearby? 3. Where's the warehouse for all the roads?

[@bobwerber2984]

I've been to Inisheer twice. Lyrical, beautiful, unforgettable place. Rock on Choe!

[@declannash3435]

I love Inis Oirr, was there in 1992, no cars, 1 tractor, everyone got around on bike or on foot, hoping to get back again.

[@AgentPrimus]

3:20- very accurate of our government. They are VERY slow at making these sort of decisions at times

[@dadigan5117]

Wonderful! Thank you.

[@olliestours]

Brilliant piece! Great to see her in charge of such an important role.

[@ITZHA5H]

No better woman, Chloe's a strong leader, and strong enough to be gentle. I've known this since I've met her many years ago. It doesn't surprise me that she's been called to leadership, and I know Inis Oirr is in safe hands.

[@chloeomalley6303]

Thank you so much, yes it all started in Leadership for life together!

Chloe you sound like a legend. Fair play

Incredible looks like paradise a little piece of heaven in a complicated world I wanted to live somewhere like that however I never got around to doing it

[@TheAnthraxBiology]

The most amazing thing about Inis Oírr to me is that they've always managed to arbitrate disputes without much of a police presence. The police in Ireland were established by the British (the Peacekeeping Protection Force and later the RIC and DMP) as was a punitive justice system. Before that it was brehons and druids who would arbitrate disputes with conflict resolution instead of just trying to hunt and punish people as we do now. Community bonds discouraged crime too which are strong on the island. It's preserved a lot of Irish tradition!

[@RossBradley-vd5rc]

Rot! Everbody knows it was leprechauns and the rest of the fae court who decided disputes. You would find yourself a rowan tree and stand before it, or inside a mushroom ring (as long as you made sure to remember to ask permission to enter it, as the little folk would look poorly on you if you forgot) and you would tell your side of the story to them sure in the knowledge that whoever you were in dispute with would do the same. Then you would make your offering (booze, baccy, eggs, milk, honey or blood sometimes depending on how serious and crimson was your dispute) and the faery folk would see to it that if you were in the right things would shake out in your favour and depending on how wrong your opponent was they would get what they deserved.

I can certainly see the draw of living on a place like that small island. Pluses and minuses, obviously.

i see no tree's on the island, or is it me?

Limestone slab Rock no top soil, very little Freshwater, because of water drains so quickly... so yeah no trees

[@donp3997]

You can see trees at 2:15.

@@anthonymullen6300 would be nice to look for original fauna/tree's on the island. can't imagine it was always that barren

[@Joseph13163]

@@Classsick101 No it would of been still very barren.Any soil thats there now is a result of seaweed and sand brought from the shore before that trees would have had a very hard time,it would not look as barren but probably it would be covered by 4 ft high hazel shrubs and that would be about it .

[@conlaiarla]

The native Irish speakers are a strange people. When we Irish people ( first language English) visit on holidays speak Irish to them they answer us in English and refuse to speak Irish with us. Apparently, they regard Irish as theirs exclusively.

I thought Ireland was more futuristic

[@mintcrisp94]

Ireland is home to some of the most advance technology and chip manufacturing plants in the world. The issue however, is infrastructure and planning laws mean they don't propagate. You can walk across Ireland and see farmers using donkeys in their fields and next field over see an Intel chip manufacturing plant. You can drive your newly purchased Tesla off the dealership and drive it back to your 400 year old cottage. It's a mix of both worlds.

[@kelzuya]

"futuristic" 🤣 Like androids walking around?

[@Dreyno]

It’s a small island off the west coast. It’s not representative of the rest of the country.

[@Dreyno]

@@mintcrisp94Nobody is using donkeys you spa. They keep them around as pets.

[@murpho999]

@@mintcrisp94 Sorry but you will not see farmers in Ireland using donkeys. What rubbish
