I am not including lake islands. Ireland is an island nation because it is in the ocean, hence the 83 offshore islands. But I take your point. There are mainly inland lake islands, but that would be making it too complicated. Plus, the whole mystical aspect is about being out in the ocean. But there are monasteries on inland islands, too, but Skellig Michael and beehive huts on ocean islands hit differently!
@BertieBrosnan Strangford is not a lie it is an inland sea , tidal and navigable to Irish Sea and most islands are use for agriculture and many lived on
@tempcadoganenright I understand your point, but the statistics for offshore islands are 83. Yes, technically, with tidal inlets, etc., there are more, but we are, as a nation, an offshore island (from mainland Europe). We are not located in a tidal inlet lough between other countries. So that's my thinking here. Another video could be about the inland islands as opposed to the offshore ones. I'll keep it in mind.

100 islands on Strangford Lough in County Down. Must be as many in Conamara. Has to be over 300 islands in all?
