Gunning to live in an artist’s retreat on Bere Island?

Renovated, old master gunner’s house is for sale, says Tommy Barker

The last thing auctioneer Dominic Daly sold at Bere Island sank.

Mr Daly, who sells houses, boats and islands, had the sale of a factory ship, the Bardini Reefer, which was at anchor in Castletownbere, in 1982, while it awaited a move to France. After the sale, the Bardini went on fire, exploded, and sank in 15 metres of water in the stretch of Bantry Bay between Castletownbere and Bere Island.
