Photos: Man to live on 'desert island' in the middle of the River Liffey
CASTAWAY AND VISUAL artist Fergal McCarthy has begun his week long stint on a desert island in the middle of the River Liffey in Dublin.
McCarthy plans to live on the island for the duration of the ABSOLUT Fringe festival. He’ll be relaying his experiences via his blog, Facebook and Twitter.
