‘sup?
Good times.
Meanwhile…
Inis Oírr in the background. Both islands later got EU-funded harbours that largely ended the working currach. My elderly mother had been reluctant to return to Inis Oírr for the millennium celebration because she feared that currach trip ~ highly delighted with the harbour!

Love the quizzical donkey. Are the ladies on the beach ancestresses of the Seoiges?
Bit like Dunlaoghaire ferry port of the future .
I believe cycle lanes to be installed as well.
Tá siad ag teacht.
Is that not the ferry, the Naomh Eanna, currently tied up in dry dock in the grand Canal Dock? If so I remember a furore a few years ago when there were moves to have it scrapped, and a protest movement grew up around preserving it.
If I recall correctly, it is the last ship made by hot riveting in Ireland, and quite possibly the world, as by then ship building had moved on to modular welding. Not sure of its current status but it should be worth refitting a little like the Cill Airne, but not necessarily as a bar.
