A Celtic cross headstone rises above in a cemetery in Dunquin, a small hamlet on Ireland's Dingle Peninsula. The village is notable for the purity of the Irish spoken there. In decades past many Blasket Islanders settled in the hamlet after the Irish government sanctioned a formal policy to abandon remote islands.
