| So I was delighted to be in Kilkee for the launching of new currachs by the local community which maintain the tradition of currach building in West Clare. |
| For example a local man with a currach, who wouldn't have tonnage, has to go out and spend in the region of six or seven thousand pounds in order to fish for lobsters. |
| We unloaded the bike and placed the panniers in the currach, then balanced the bike precariously on top. |
| The project had three main elements, the construction of the boat, the launch of the currach and the acquisition of the currach into the National Museum collection. |
| Where once the harbour might have had a currach or two tied up, the inlet is now festooned with yachts and dinghies and motor boats and punts of all shapes and sizes. |
| The conditions were terrible and you couldn't have launched a lifeboat that day, not to mind a currach. |
