Inishbofin Ferry, Inishbofin in Lockdown
This is the final episode of our series ‘Inishbofin in Lockdown’.
We’ve had incredible feedback on this project which has been really lovely.
We’d like to thank all of you who shared the videos on Facebook and various other channels. That’s how word spreads, so the shares have been invaluable. Sharing also helps to showcase our beautiful island home, of which we’re so proud!
‘Inishbofin in Lockdown’ was born out of desire to document a particularly challenging period in our lives on the island. A period that has challenged people all over the world.
We’ve been fortunate to not have had any covid related hospitalisations or deaths on the island, though unfortunately we didn’t escape the difficulties of a socially distanced funeral.
Today we speak to Pat Concannon of Inishbofin Ferry - a face that most who visit Inishbofin will recognise. Pat speaks to us about Coronavirus from both a business and personal perspective - we hope you all enjoy watching.
Sincere thanks again for all the support you’ve shown for our project!

    They did so well. Had the disease got a hold there it would have done huge damage in such a confined place. It is a very caring way to help. I live on a smaller Irish island and it was the same here ; we old ones were shielded carefully and responsibly .

    Just lit my turf fire on a different Irish island and resonate with this film. We were all locked down. I am immune deficient and cannot take the vaccine so I remain safe in peaceful isolation. Lockdown has saved countless innocent lives here and on all the islands.

      So? A very confined area and a disease like covid would rip through it like wildfire. Also - and I live on a different Irish island - there is an ageing population who are very vulnerable. ALso very limited medical facilities. You need to watch what you call ridiculous! Thankfully all islanders knew wisdom and sense. And thuse we escaped covid.

    Lockdowns have been the biggest disasters on soceity in history. It divides us in the worse way. We will be talking about the disaster resultant of lockdown for generations, like the old folk about the potato famines and soup kitchens and put into workhouses that killed far more with illness that spread and killed. Families divided and never saw each other. The government reaction did far more damage than the illness.

    You can really see here how evil lock downs are, even scaring the kids into believing the big bad virus might get them if they don't stay apart, worst thing is not one bit of this is scientific, masks, 2 feet apart, none of it is science, just media fear mongering and lies.

      Not at all. Maybe you do not understand in your shouty mood that what lockdown in Inishbofin means is that the island itself is in isolation so no one from outside the island can come there? A highly infectious disease in such a context and with so many old folk would be a disaster
