There is a challenge with the Irish language

0:03:370:03:39

and I'm asking people

0:03:390:03:42

maybe to follow me in my journey where we can

0:03:420:03:44

reach out to people that got Cs and Bs and As in their leaving cert.

0:03:440:03:50

And don't speak it but want to speak it, have a love, have a

0:03:500:03:53

gra for the Irish and I'm asking people to look at that.

0:03:530:03:56

We had the biggest fishing boat

0:14:170:14:19

in Ireland built in this yard

0:14:190:14:22

back in its time.

0:14:220:14:23

But the wooden boats have unfortunately died away

0:14:230:14:26

and that's where it's concentrated more on the steel

0:14:260:14:29

and the fibreglass.

0:14:290:14:30

Well, I've been working with the ferries these last 28 years

0:14:390:14:41

and in 2009, I took over the

0:14:410:14:44

Arranmore ferries from Cornelius Bonner.

0:14:440:14:46

And with that, Cornelius

0:14:460:14:49

had operated the boatyard.

0:14:490:14:51

In the first year, we just used it for the ferries, mainly,

0:14:510:14:54

but since the second year,

0:14:540:14:56

we found there was a high demand for fishing boats and pleasure boats and

0:14:560:15:00

ferries wanting to use the facility so we built a new cradle,

0:15:000:15:04

we refurbished the yard a little and since then

0:15:040:15:08

it's taken off, it's getting busier every year.

0:15:080:15:10

And we have with great support locally.
