There's a tiny community on Inis Oirr, and it's part of the Ghaeltacht, meaning that Gaelic - or Irish, as they would call it here, although Gaelic is also spoken in Wales, Scotland and Brittany - is the primary language. There are lots of rocks and a few small houses dotted over the eastern part of the island. Sheep and cows outnumber the humans here. Dee Dee and managed to get lost on this tiny island...go figure.
