		The rugged isle is hosting the first ever Father Ted festival, and fans of the hit television comedy show have flocked to the island to pay homage to Ted and the rest of the cast.
		People there claimed the festival should have been held on their island because the Plassey shipwreck and other landmarks which featured in the opening credits of the show, were shot on Inis Oirr.
		Given that most of the show was shot in a studio in London with exteriors filmed in County Clare, the row among the islands over the "rights" to stage the Father Ted festival, would have probably given Dermot Morgan something to chuckle about.

	Will the Real Craggy Island Please Step Forward at Exigency In Specie (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-05)
		In an argument that could have come right out of an Arthur Mathews and Graham Linehan script for the show, two remote Irish islands are arguing over which of them has most right to be associated with Father Ted, the nineties comedy series about a priest living on a remote Irish island.
		The source of the argument is the decision by Inis Mór to hold a ‘Friends of Ted’; event to mark the ninth anniversary of the death of Dermot Morgan who played Ted.
		However the nearby Inis Oirr is objecting, saying that they have more right to use the character as their island actually appeared in the show.
