St. Mac Dara’s Island
In the sixth century St. Mac Dara built a small church on one of the islands off the coast, namely ‘Cruach na Cara’. The Saint’s feast day is celebrated on 16th July when people make their way to the island for the celebration of Mass. The feast day also incorporates a festival of hooker and currach racing in honour of St. Mac Dara, the Patron Saint of all seafarers.
