The Skellig Story: Ancient Monastic Outpost
by Des Lavelle

I managed to take the boat trip with the author and this book tells it like it is. Also, I suggest when reading it, play Phil Coulter's Mise eireann and Mna na h-Eireann. He captures the mood and the haunting feeling of the place. Edited and adpated from a review by Michael Kelly on amazon.

St Patrick's Cathedral

The National Cathedral and Collegiate Church of St. Patrick is the full official name and, according to tradition, St Patrick baptised several converts at a well in what is now a park adjacent to the cathedral. To commemorate this event, a small wooden church was built. In 1901, the well was rediscovered and an ancient granite stone, marked with a Celtic cross which covered the well, was moved into the cathedral. The parish church on this site was one of four Celtic churches in Dublin and was known as St Patrick's in Insula - on the island - as it was built on an island between two branches of the River Poddle which still flows under the cathedral.
