North by Northwest
Relations have broken down too between landowners and Shell in North Mayo, as they seek to enforce compulsory purchase orders to build their gas & oil pipeline across one of the most scenic parts of North Mayo.
Meanwhile, just off the Mullet peninsula nearby, a couple of islands have gone up for sale. The larger of the two, Duvillaun (Dubh Oileán - the black island), is 250 acres in area and bids of a million euro will be entertained. Given that there is an ancient carved standing stone, I wonder if you can getting planning permission there ? It would be a very expensive vegetable garden otherwise. Mind you, the isolation would come in handy for one thing…
