Basic furnishings sought for famous Blasket dwelling

The sparse furnishings of a 1920s Irish peasant dwelling are being sought for the home of The Islandman, Tomás O’Criomhthain.

The Blasket islander is regarded as one of the great Irish language writer-storytellers of the modern era, after his book An tOileánach was published in 1929.

His simple home, on the Blasket Island off the coast of Co Kerry, welcomed linguistic scholars from Sweden, France, Ireland and the UK.
