Absence makes the heart grow fonder...I hope...

Good evening everyone,

I hope you are keeping well and enjoying the weekend so far.
Thank God for all the recent sunshine...the last time I 'Blogged' we were in the midst of a storm. How quickly things change aye...

Firstly our Fundit Campaign is up to 79% which is a great achievement so far. Not only has the generosity been incredible but also the level of support and faith people are showing from the nations-capital to Cape Clear Island. Long may it continue and hopefully it won't be long until we are promoting our shoot date! Fingers crossed.

This week I will be visiting the Cork Archives, thanks to the help of Éamon Lankford. This visit is critical in establishing all facts, dates and figures related to the complete history of Cape Clears fishing industry and is something I am very much looking forward to! As soon as I complete my visit I will be Blogging with some interesting updates and information. Thanks again to Éamon Lankford for making this visit possible!

There was some great news last week for Cape Clear and its residents when the government announced nearly €70 million worth of funding for storm repair. Mr Phil Hogan, Minister for the Environment, claims that more will be needed to truly clean up the mess the storms made throughout December, January and February. Lets hope this relief is provided and people can begin to get their lives back on track!

Finally, if everyone can please continue to share, like, tweet, favourite, mail, text etc. information about Aonrú that would be amazing. We are so very close to our target and we need as much support as possible to ensure we get there! You people really are beautiful...

If anyone has any questions regarding production, the project etc. please feel free to get in touch at any stage. I would love to hear from you!

Take care and warmest regards,

Oh......and much love

Jason
