The remote Blacksod lighthouse and coast guard station played a key role during World War II.
Maureen Sweeneys weather reading led to D Day being postponed to 6th June giving the Allies a two day advance warning of stormy conditions in western Europe, forcing General Dwight D Eisenhower to delay his meticulously planned invasion of Normandy.
The rest is history.
