About the Book
"Close Tory Island. It is fit only for a high security prison, a rifle-range, or for quarantine... It is an historical accident without parallel."
About the Author
When I, Diarmuid O Peicin, C.I arrived on Tory Island I was shocked by what I found, a beaten community that was threatened by rumours of evacuation to a new house on the mainland. This story is breath-taking, furious and exciting by turns. So, when the islanders got the opportunity they transformed the island, creating a new harbour, an excellent health centre, a secondary school and reliable transport. And all with a big smile.
