'I’m living in Disney World': Meet the couple who swapped the bright lights of Rio for Cork's Dursey Island

The island has its quirks, but those who call it home love their way of life

Sheila O'Callaghan and her husband Christian Kosner: 'People find how I live strange but it’s a way of life for us. It’s not a novelty, it’s not a downer. It’s just how it is.'

Imagine a community with just four full-time residents  and not so much as a pub or cafe to while away a few hours.

And yet the handful of inhabitants who call Dursey Island home say they feel more connected than the majority of today’s city dwellers.
