Clynish

Islet

What is recorded here

Clynish is a small inhabited island in Clew Bay, County Mayo, where intensive farming continues on a place that has shrunk from 87 people in 1841 to 3 in 2022. Its endurance is striking: a tiny island, repeatedly reduced by distance, weather and departure, yet never fully emptied. What remains sounds less like decline than compression, as if Clynish kept only the people stubborn enough to stay.
Clynish is recorded as a islet in County Mayo. Its open map record supplies this location and any linked names or public references.
