Its elaborated upon in the Great Blasket Island article; In April 1947, having been cut off from the mainland for weeks due to bad weather, the islanders made an emergency call to the Taoiseach, Éamon de Valera, urgently requesting supplies which duly arrived two days later by boat. 90.142.144.88 (talk) 17:11, 5 October 2011 (UTC)

Placename

Flower connects the name to a supposed ON word "brasker", but I couldn't find it in any dictionary. "Dangerous" is hættr, place staðr. EamonnPKeane (talk) 16:50, 3 April 2010 (UTC)
