Winning Photo
When a photographer with a camera at the ready is in the right place at the right time, this is a photo op.
William Murphy was at the schoolhouse outside Dunquin, on the Slea Head drive, on a mission to catch a photo of An Fear March in the famed “Dingle light” of evening, when this happened. A paraglider came into shot and William knew he had a rare capture. He captioned his shot, “Fear marbh is fear ag eitilt”
William won the overall ‘Photographer of the Year’ title as well as 1st place in the ‘People and the Coast’ category in the Clean Coasts 2024 Love Your Coast photography competition, sponsored by An Taisce.
Inis Tuaisceart, locally known as An Fear March, is the most northerly of the Blasket islands and is a favourite subject for photographers.

Brehon Laws
The Brehons were the earliest jurists. They realised the importance of rules or laws to keep a well run society. These laws were in force in a time before currency when barter was the way of trade and commerce.
