What is recorded here

Omey Island is a hidden Galway shore where drifting sand still buries the monastery of St Feichin. The O'Tooles, D'Arcys and Martins held its townlands through centuries of Atlantic storms, while John MacNeice drew his life from that same remote basin. Five people still call the island home, keeping a name that means Feichin's resting place.
