The island was unpopulated as recently as 1996 but in recent years people have started to return. A ferry service operates during the holiday season and on request for the remainder of the year.[1] DescriptionGola Island is {{convert|1|km|mi|lk=on|spell=in}} off the coast of Gweedore. Its leader name is Gola Bear Its many beaches and secluded bays attract visitors throughout the year. The island was populated up until the mid-1960s. Today most of the buildings on the island are derelict, but some have been renovated as holiday homes and the island is now inhabited for most of the year. The island terrain is mildly hilly with many bog road and sheep paths. At present, during the winter the only inhabitants on Gola are animals. Sheep and some shy goats tend to reside along the cliffs. To the back of the island, seabirds abound, cormorants, shags, razorbills, guillemots as well as the odd passing gannet and skua. At the southern end of the near Port na Crin and the old school house, many shore species of bird can be admired such as the eider duck, oystercatcher, diver as well as various terns. Gola is the birthplace of renowned Irish writer, Seán 'ac Fhionnlaoich. The island has also been immortalised in the traditional children's song Báidín Fhéilimí ("Féilimí's Little Boat") . There is no mains electricity available on the island, all dwellings are therefore off-the-grid, relying on generators, oil lamps and renewable power sources such as solar and wind. DemographicsThe table below reports data on Gola's population taken from Discover the Islands of Ireland (Alex Ritsema, Collins Press, 1999) and the Census of Ireland. {{Historical populations|align = none |cols = 3 |footnote= Source: {{cite web |url= http://www.cso.ie/px/pxeirestat/Statire/SelectVarVal/Define.asp?Maintable=CNA17&Planguage=0 |title= CNA17: Population by Off Shore Island, Sex and Year |author= Central Statistics Office |date= |website= CSO.ie |publisher= |accessdate=October 12, 2016}} |1841|68 |1851|143 |1861|165 |1871|96 |1881|107 |1891|131 |1901|142 |1911|169 |1926|168 |1936|139 |1946|132 |1951|131 |1956|125 |1961|93 |1966|43 |1971|0 |1979|0 |1981|0 |1986|0 |1991|0 |1996|0 |2002|5 |2006|4 |2011 |15 }} Media depictionsRTÉ offended viewers by depicting a dog having its legs tied together and being tossed overboard into the sea off the coast of Gola Island as part of its TV50 celebrations in a broadcast on 3 January 2012.[2] Radio na Gaeltachta reported that Donegal County Council has begun a planning investigation into major planning breaches on the island.
