Dan MacCarthy: Inisturk and a Covid-19 conundrum

For the past few months Inishturk has been in quarantine with only essential workers such as a nurse and maintenance crew for a mobile phone mast allowed in.

Inisturk went into lockdown very early.

Among the large islands off mainland Galway and Mayo, the decently sized Inishturk is often overlooked.

The huge Clare Island off Co Mayo and the comparatively large Inishbofin in Co Galway get the lion’s share of visitors in that neck of the woods.
