Do chéad fáilte ar maidin a Mhary.

Now with the way land prices are today, it's rare to find a plot you'd pay a million euros for and then say accordingly that it's not a bad deal to have that price set on an island that has one hundred seventy-seven acres and another small island beside it that has sixty acres available for a quarter of a million now if your pocket is tight stay with us while Mary John Tom describes these islands and what they contain.

Tá Carraig an Toir siar uathu, Pat.

Carraig an Toir is west of them, Pat.

Tá an an charraig eile tá sí síos in aice Bhéal an Mhuiread. Bhuel d'fheicfeadh siad í creidim a siad ar an teileafón.
