Event looks to lift confidence on Skellig coast hit by emigration

Muinín, or confidence, is the theme of an international conference taking place on the Skellig coast this week.

Around 40 students are present for the international SMARTlab PhD conference, having come to Caherciveen, Co Kerry, from countries such as South Korea, Uganda, and Turkey, but also including four students based in the local area.

The conference has been organised with the support of NAISC, the Skellig Coast Diaspora Network.
