* Micheál de Mordha *Gerald Hayes, based in Massachusetts, holds degrees from the College of the Holy Cross and the Harvard Graduate School of Education. His late father-in-law, Mike Carney, gave him a gift that was to substantially influence him: the story of the human drama that unfolded on the Great Blasket, Carney’s beloved homeland. Gerald is co-author with Carney of From The Great Blasket to America: The Last Memoir by an Islander (2013) and with Eliza Kane of The Last Blasket King (2015). His hope is to share the island’s story with the world.
