Great day at @BlacksodLight yesterday with Udaras and the Inisheer group. Thanks very much to Marie, Fergus & John for your hospitality. #coastalkeeper #mylighthousetrail

A special visit today as Fergus from the lighthouse team welcomed TV legend Timmy Mallett to Blacksod Lighthouse. Timmy’s mother Nancy worked on D-Day weather forecasts & spoke to Maureen Sweeney on June 4, 1944, confirming Blacksod’s vital role in the Normandy landings

A spot of under slinging at @ Blacksod lighthouse today

@lighthousemoji @Lighthouses_NE @lightphotosnet Definitely lots of work but might be fun, going to have a proper look at it today.

@BlacksodLight @Lighthouses_NE @lightphotosnet Looks like a lot of work. Who’s gonna make this happen for all us lighthouse lovers? Rejected 3 times before. 😞

Calling all lighthouse lovers, the campaign for a lighthouse emoji has begun.

@lighthousemoji We only realised this fact last night, simply not good enough.

🌊🪨 There is a sea emoji and a rock emoji, but still no lighthouse emoji.

Irelands only square lighthouse. It was all about the budget. #Blacksod lighthouse #IrishLights @gtlighthouses @MayoNorth

What a view from the light room in one of Irelands great lighthouses, why not come visit us visitblacksodlighthouse.ie #greatlighthousesofireland #Blacksod

On this day 158 years ago the first light was exhibited at our station. Still going strong today.

It is an amazing structure of Irelands southwestern coast.

While Davitt is rightly revered for his land activism in Ireland, it is also important to remember how much of an internationalist he was. An example of this was when he travelled to Kishinev, Moldova in 1903 to highlight a massacre of Jewish people there. #davittmuseum
