Islands of Ireland: No satisfaction on St Patrick’s

Probably the most famous visitor ever to these shores landed on St Patrick’s Island, Co Dublin — St Patrick himself, writes Dan MacCarthy

There are many churches, streets and public institutions that bear his name. The eponymous island is in the north of the county, offshore from the charming fishing village of Skerries. This 50m x 200m island is one of a cluster of three along with Shenick and Colt.
