OverviewNow uninhabited, the last 23 inhabitants of this former isolated fishing and farming community were evacuated in October 1960.[1] The islanders had been unable to leave for months in winter and the government opted to resettle them on the mainland rather than build an expensive pier on the island. Like Inishbofin, Inishark is composed almost entirely of Silurian slates and shales. It rises almost to {{convert|100|m|ft|abbr=out}} above sea level.[2] The documentary film Inis Airc, Bás Oileáin (Inishark, Death of an Island) produced in 2007 by C-Board Films for TG4, told the story of the last years and abandonment of Inishark. Produced and directed by Kieran Concannon, it featured interviews with surviving islanders and archive newsreel footage of the final evacuation. In 2009, Boston College's Irish Studies program (in cooperation with Irish Film Institute) screened Inis Airc, Bás Oileáin (Inishark, Death of an Island) as part of the Irish Studies Film Series telling the evacuation story from the surviving islanders viewpoint. HistoryThe island was occupied for thousands of years and has many Bronze Age sites such as burial grounds and monuments. The island's patron saint was Leo of Inis Airc, who lived there sometime between the sixth and eighth centuries. The remains of a 19th-century church named after him lie on the island today.[3] DemographicsThe table below reports data on Inishhark's population taken from Discover the Islands of Ireland (Alex Ritsema, Collins Press, 1999) and the Census of Ireland. Census data in Ireland before 1841 are not considered complete and/or reliable. {{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 | website = CSO.ie | accessdate = 12 October 2016 }} | 1841|208 | 1851|138 | 1861|181 | 1871|61 | 1881|207 | 1891|123 | 1901|129 | 1911|110 | 1926|72 | 1936|68 | 1946|67 | 1951|50 | 1956|33 | 1961|0 | 1966|0 | 1971|0 | 1979|0 | 1981|0 | 1986|0 | 1991|0 | 1996 |0 | 2002 |0 | 2006 |0 | 2011 |0 | 2016 |0 }} See also
