Bones stolen from a cemetery on an Irish island will be returned later, 133 years after they were taken.

It doesn't have the brand recognition of a 50, 75 or even 125; it has no name, no paper, crystal or gold.

The remains, including 13 skulls, were removed from Inishbofin in 1890 and subsequently kept at Trinity College Dublin .following a decade-long campaign by the islanders. What followed was a series of emails - the beginnings of a hard-fought campaign to return the bones to their intended place of rest.

At the time, researchers are thought to have speculated on the ethnicity of those living in far-flung Irish communities, seemingly sheltered from British influence."Maybe they felt the people that were out on the fringes of society were more Irish, I don’t know." Like many others, Mr Haddon had developed a keen interest in the comparative study of human characteristics, which led to him removing a collection of human skulls from a recess in the wall of Teampall Chaomháin, adjacent to St Colman's Monastery on Inishbofin.
