Inis Orr, a beautiful island, is home to five small settlements that add to the island's charm. These settlements, including Baile an Fhormna, Baile an Lorgain, Baile Thiar, Castle Village (Baile an Chaislein), and Chapeltown (Baile an tSipil), create a vibrant community on the island. Visitors to Inis Orr can experience traditional Irish "sessions" and enjoy the warm hospitality of the locals. However, anti-social behavior is not tolerated, and the community will not hesitate to involve the Irish Police Force if necessary. Despite its isolation, the island is not far from the mainland, so visitors should be mindful of their actions. While Inis Orr may seem like a place where pub closing times do not apply, this is not the case. Although the pubs may stay open longer than mainland establishments, serving alcohol in the early hours is not allowed. To ensure compliance, plainclothes members of the Irish Police Force may be present. This practice has been enforced before, signaling an end to the days of all-night island pub sessions.
