| 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. |
| The other two islands were long accessible only by currach, a primitive type of boat. |
| 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. |
| The conditions were terrible and you couldn't have launched a lifeboat that day, not to mind a currach. |
| 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. |
| The antipasti were served on a long white dish, not unlike a white currach. |
