King of Tory

Unlike some monarchs in neighbouring sovereignties the King of Tory is there by general consensus of his fellow islanders. Patsy Dan revels in his position as a representative of Tory Island and carries out his ambassadorial duties with great aplomb. He greets each passenger ferry that lands and welcomes visitors 'Fáilte romhat'. Likewise, those departing the island are bade a personal 'Slán go foill'.
