It has a permanent population of 58 people.[3] There are two main settlements, both on the more sheltered eastern end of the island, Ballyheer and Garranty. Bellavaun and Craggy are abandoned settlements. The British built a Martello tower on the western coast during the Napoleonic Wars. Inisturk has the highest per capita donation rate towards the RNLI in the whole of Ireland.{{Citation needed|date=November 2007}} HistoryInishturk has been inhabited on and off since 4,000 BCE and has been inhabited permanently since at least 1700.[4] Some of the more recent inhabitants are descended from evacuees from Inishark to the southwest{{citation needed|date=October 2016}}. The social club Mountain Common is situated on the hill that separates the two settlements. Recent historyIn 1993 Inishturk Community centre was opened, this community centre doubles as a library and a pub. In June 2014 the ESB commissioned three new Broadcrown BCP 110-50 100kVA diesel generators to supply electricity to the island[5] The ESB have operated a diesel power station on the island since the 1980s[6] Inishturk gained international attention in 2016 after a number of websites claimed that the island would welcome any American "refugees" fleeing a potential Donald Trump presidency.[7][8][9] These claims were used as one example of the type of "fake news" that arose during the 2016 US presidential election campaign.[10] As of November 2016, no changes to inward migration have been reported.{{citation needed|date=November 2016}} The island is home to a primary school on the island which in 2011 had only 3 pupils, this believed to be the smallest primary school in Ireland[11] DemographicsThe table below reports data on Inisturk'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|577 |1851|174 |1861|110 |1871|112 |1881|116 |1891|135 |1901|135 |1911|132 |1926|101 |1936|107 |1946|125 |1951|123 |1956|110 |1961|108 |1966|92 |1971|83 |1979|85 |1981|76 |1986|90 |1991|78 |1996|83 |2002|72 |2006|58 |2011|53 |2016|51 }} TransportPrior to 1997 there was no scheduled ferry service and people traveled to and from the islands using local fishing boats. Since then a ferry service operates from Roonagh Quay, Louisburgh, County Mayo.[12] The pier was constructed during the 1980s by the Irish government, around this time the roads on the island were paved.[13] GallerySee also
