A job vacancy on one of the country’s most iconic islands, which has no hot running water and electricity, is up for grabs again.

Last year more than 40,000 applications were made for two summer caretaker jobs on the remote Great Blasket Island, home to the late author and storyteller Peig Sayers, whose writings formed part of the Leaving Cert Irish curriculum.
