It’s on the market, and the current asking price is €140,000. Estate agent Dominic Daly, who is handling the sale, told DailyEdge.ie he’s had “an awful lot” of calls about the island since it went on sale with considerable publicity last week.
He cautioned that the island is “very much an offshore island” – it’s part of the Donegal Archipelago with Tory, Inishbeg and Inishbofin – and currently doesn’t have a house on it. Daly added:
I think to establish a house you’d need a very good architect, with a good understanding of the planners. It is in a special conservation area.
Nevertheless, there have been “possible credible bids” already, he said.
