Following on from his hugely successful and highly acclaimed book on Inishbofin and Inishark, author James Morrissey turns his attention to the small tidal island of Omey in Connemara in Co. Galway.

The island's last permanent resident passed away in 2017, leaving the island, which once supported a population of 40, abandoned.

This book collects the stories of former island residents, recounting life on the island. This publication therefore represents an hugely important collection of first hand stories from island residents, which will prove to be invaluable for generations to come.
