    Those islands are all hoaxes from left wing nutjobs like Joe Higgins and the communist before profit party. There is not a hope in hell this bit of land is going for 150k

    Whats the story with Inishvickillane? Squire Hockey bought it with money kindly given by the Allied Irish Banks in the 70s. As he was a bankrupt post death it might have been sold.

    That one off the coast of cork doesn't look bad.

    i thought it was, to clear his tax bill or something, no?

    his family paid the monies due on it.

    you have to fill in an application form and make a donation, the first couple of hundred thousand of donations will go towards buying the island, after that 94.34% will go to the president (me). did i metion there will be a free healthcare system on de island. - i found a packet of band aids in the press
