A political, cultural and social act where individuals interact, engage and contribute, interpret and challenge. That implies we use all our senses; vision, hearing, smell, feel, taste, to help us to engage. This is not a neutral activity it is value laden based on our own personal experiences and histories. ​

The island is officially identified as a Gaeltacht (Irish-speaking) area. 62% claiming to be able to speak Irish and 27% saying they spoke Irish daily outside the education system.

The population of the island increases in the summer months as students visit the local Irish Colleges, Coláiste Phobal Chléire and Coláiste Chiaráin. Students stay in local houses or dorms and improve their spoken Irish as part of the immersion courses within the Gaeltacht.

Every first weekend of September, the island hosts the Cape Clear Island International Storytelling Festival. The festival has been running annually since 1994.

It would have been nice to converse I heard a conversation on the boat journey to cape clear. Orleans chlorite
