The Importance of Forests in Ireland

Liam of Flaherty was from the Aaron Islands and he wrote a hell of a lot about nature. He would talk about looking at a lake in, you know, 1920 and this lake bubbling with fish on the surface. And me as someone in 2023, I was like, you're talking out of your arse man, you're exaggerating. But that made me feel really sad because I don't think he was lying. I think there actually were that many animals 100 years ago."
