Beidh scannán faoi Inish Airc ("Bás Oileáin" = "Death of an Island") ar
TG4 anocht, ag 9.30.
"An 20ú Deireadh Fómhair 1960 d’fhág ceithre dhuine fhichead Inis Airc amach ó chósta na Gaillimhe agus thug siad aghaidh ar an mórthír. Sna báid ina raibh siad bhí nithe an tsaoil: potaí, leapracha, troscán agus peataí! Bhí na mílte bliain caite ag a muintir ar an oiléan ach ní raibh siad in ann maireachtáil ar an oileán ní ba mhó."
"On the twentieth day of October, 1960, twenty four people left Inishshark island off the Galway coast in a flotilla of boats bound for the Conamara mainland. They carried with them pots, pans, pets, bedsteads and furniture, all their worldly belongings. After centuries of resilient survival in the face of an unmerciful Atlantic and unsympathetic authorities, the community of Inishshark was no more."
