AIRMAN

January 2008 saw the publication of the AIRMAN, the latest novel by Eoin Colfer.
The story is set on the Great Saltee, and is a great read.

 

 
Visual Change

2007 brought the biggest visual change to the Great Saltee over the past thousands of years.

Parachute Jump
On the 7th August 2005 a sponsored tandem parachute jump took place for the first and only time on the Great Saltee. This was in aid of the RNLI and was organised by Paul Neale.  Paul not only organised this event but also very bravely did the jump!!

The jump was from a height of 8000 feet. The weather was excellent and over €8200 was donated to the RNLI. Many thanks to all the generous sponsors.
