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. |
Edward wished much to know whether the currach was a horse, a cart, or a chaise. |
In the sixth century Saint Brendan set off from the west coast of Ireland in a small currach made of wicker and oxhide to search for the Isles of the Blessed. |
Anyone within hailing distance of a currach should get over there. |
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. |
