Gerald was co-author, with Patricia Ahern, of the book The Lightkeeper: A Memoir, which was published in 2012. Today Gerald is the Attendant Keeper at Galley Head lighthouse, and he frequently lectures on Irish lighthouses.\n\n\n\nGalley Head Lighthouse, photo by Jeremy D'Entremont.\n\n\n\nBull Rock Lighthouse (Commissioners of Irish Lights)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n In part three of the interview Gerald talks about the lighthouses where he worked in the last part of his career, about a commemoration of the Fastnet disaster that was discussed in part two of the interview, and about his post-lighthouse-keeping career.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nListen to the podcast with this player:
