Is ar an 27–9 Meán Fómhair in Ionad an Bhlascaoid Mhóir i nDún Chaoin a cuireadh Ceiliúradh an Bhlascaoid ar bun don mbliain 2024. ‘Cá bhfuil ár dTriall? Caomhnú is Aitheantas do na Blascaodaí’, an teideal a bhí againn don ócáid. Is ar oileáin na mBlascaodaí a bhíothas dírithe: cá seasaíonn siad inniu agus cad atá i ndán dóibh i bhfianaise a bhfuil déanta cheana agus atá ar na bioráin. Go deimhin, bhí téama an Cheiliúrtha agus ár gcainteoirí dearbhaithe againn nuair a fógraíodh bunú Pháirc Náisiúnta Mara, Chiarraí i mí na Bealtaine 2023 – cor nua agus cor tábhachtach do dhán na mBlascaodaí a cíortar sa bhfoilseachán so.

Ceiliúradh an Bhlascaoid was held in the Blasket Centre in Dun Chaoin Co. Kerry from the 27th to the 29th of September 2024. ‘Cá bhfuil ár dTriall? Caomhnú is Aitheantas do na Blascaodaí’ (Where are we headed? Conservation and Recognition for the Blaskets) was the title of the event. Focus was on Blasket Islands: where they stand today, and what their future may be given what has already been done, and what is planned. Indeed, the theme of the event was already confirmed when the establishment of a Marine National Park in Kerry was announced in the month of May 2023, a new direction, and an important decision for the future of the Blaskets also discussed in this publication.
