But sadly you will not be the first to apply.

So far they have had over 7000 applications! And after sharing this I imagine that will double haha.

But do not deter, if this is a dream of yours then apply! You have nothing to lose.

Accommodation and food are provided and wages discussed on application.

The Great Blasket Island is approx 6 km in length and the highest point (An Cró Mór) sits 292 metres above sea level.
