Island to be twinned with... Mars

IF there is life on Mars and “it” decides to visit our humble planet, well, chances are Island Roy in Donegal will be the first alien landfall.

Is there life on Roy? Well, there must be, because Donegal County Council has been asked to consider twinning the 90-acre spit of mostly rock with the Red Planet.

Island Roy can be reached by a causeway linking it to the mainland.
