Driver squeezes in overnight Kerry stay due to pier pressure

He boldly drove where no car drove before and in doing so, unwittingly shifted the limelight from Skellig Michael to An Blascaod Mór.

A disorientated Clareman looking forward to a spot of camping in the Kingdom took a turn for the worse around 9pm on Tuesday when he decided to drive down the pier in Dunquin from where the ferry departs for the Blasket Islands. Within minutes, both driver and Hyundai found themselves wedged in a spot so tight that neither car nor Clareman could find a way out. And so they remained overnight.

His plight was discovered early yesterday when the crew of Blasket Island Ferries came upon what looked like a movie scene.
