The Aran Islands are set to become greener than ever – but fear not, there’ll be no eyesores in sight

Homes, schools and businesses across the Aran Islands are installing solar panels and more in a bid to decarbonise the area.

The Aran Islands are well-known in all corners of the world; revered by visitors far and wide for their offering of breathtaking coastal views, striking limestone landscapes and unique experiences of traditional Irish culture and language.

Their appeal has only grown stronger in recent years, thanks to the 2022 hit film The Banshees of Inisherin, which captured the beauty of Inishmore (the largest of the three Aran Islands) on the big screen for an audience of millions worldwide to marvel at.
