Inishlyre (Irish: Inis Laidhre, meaning "Fork Island"[2]) is one of the last inhabited small islands in Clew Bay, Ireland, with a population of 3 people in 2022.[1]
The island is located close to Rosmoney Pier near Kilmeena.
In the 1851 census there were 17 houses and 122 people living on the island. By 1911, that was down to 6 houses and 22 people. In the 19th century there were 2 pubs on the Islands and sea merchants dropped cargo in the island because there was no deep-sea harbour in Westport.
