Location of Ireland's Eye in Newfoundland

Ireland's Eye was a small settlement on an island of the same name [1] off the northeast corner of Random Island in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. [2] It is accessible only by boat.

Ireland's Eye was occupied as early as 1675. [1] A way office was established in 1886. The first waymaster was Thomas Cooper. The schooner Annie E. Conrad ran aground here on 16 July 1929. There was a post office between 1941 and 1965. [3] The population was 157 in 1911, 92 in 1956, and 16 by 1966. [1] The community was resettled on October 12, 1965.

Ireland's Eye shared the island with several other resettled communities, including Ivanhoe and Black Duck Cove.
