Dunree Lighthouse, Dunree Head Buncrana Donegal
During 1876 an Inspecting Committee surveyed the Fort Dunree site and reported that the Fort at Dunree was not a suitable position for the new lighthouse but suggested a position on higher ground to the north, in which case the tower would not have to be more than one storey high. Its present location was chosen.

Laurentic 100 Year Anniversary
Laurentic 100 Year Anniversary, Buncrana, Co Donegal Ireland.
I would like to give you a little update with my latest work Laurentic a full movie screenplay that I penned to coincide with the 100 year anniversary of the ship being sank in 1917 during WW1. Well Dundalk native John Moore of Hollywood Director fame has got hold of it and intends to read. This is very exciting to me as you may well understand as I cut my teeth in script writing having obtained a degree in Movie Production at our local DKIT.
Laurentic is an amazing story about another local man John Boyle (my mother's brother) that went to sea at a very young age, worked as fireman on transatlantic liners for The White Star Co' and was killed aged 22 years in 1917. Now what is intriguing about the entire episode is that my mother and her entire family went to their rest thinking that he was drown and lay in a watery grave. However when doing the family tree about 7 years ago I discovered that he has a land grave in Buncrana Co Donegal. He was working on a ship The Haverford and she was torpedoed off the Donegal coast killing all in the engine room but the ship survived; thus his body and that of his comrades were taken ashore to be interred. It was a very emotional moment visiting this grave for the first time and this got my creative juices stirred. I had literally a blank canvass to create a life for my uncle John Boyle and I came up with the title Laurentic which is another ship who met the same fate but this time succumbed and lies at the bottom of the Atlantic.
I had a very emotional and poignant weekend in Buncrana for the 100 year anniversary of the the attacks of both Laurentic and The Haverford ships at the mouth of Lough Swilly during WW1. The families of those lost in these tragedies were both honoured and privileged to place wreath at the graves and also at the wreck site in Lough Swilly. The LE Samuel Becket under the command of Lieutenant Commander Ronan McLaughlin sailed to the site with the families to lay wreaths upon the waters of the icy Atlantic in a very solemn ceremony.
