Home of Peig Sayers on Blasket Island 'used as a toilet by day trippers' 

Peig Sayers' autobiography, which was published in 1936 and was Leaving Certificate Irish curriculum reading until 1995, detailed her life on the island.

One of two homes Peig Sayers lived in on the Great Blasket Island off the Kerry coast is among a number of ruins on the island being used as a toilet, according to caretakers who lived there.

Brock Montgomery and Claire de Haas say they routinely saw tourists “peeing or pooping” in the ruins of the famous Irish story-telling seanchaí’s first home.
