For three hundred years the west of Ireland was written off as the land nobody wanted, poor, remote, and emptied by famine and emigration. But the exact things that made it worthless, the relentless wind, the endless rain that built the bog, and the deep Atlantic water offshore, are quietly becoming some of the most valuable resources in Europe. From a gold seam under a holy mountain and the world's oldest field system to Europe's biggest offshore wind resource and a seabed territory ten times the size of the island itself, this is the map you were never shown. Watch to the end, because the deep water off this coast was never a problem, it was the doorway to everything.
