Trinity College Dublin is set to return a set of skulls stolen from Inishbofin in the late 19th century.

Some of the skulls of locals from the Connemara island date back more than 500 years.

It follows a decade-long campaign from islanders to return the artifacts to the graveyard at St Colman's Church.

It's thought they were stolen in 1890 - in what has been described as a 'colonial' act due to Trinity being under British rule at the time.
