Coney Island, in County Sligo, Ireland, is one of several islands of the same name off the coast of Ireland. It is an island of approximately 400 acres and is named after the vast quantity of rabbits which can be spotted on the island at any time (Coney (, historically ) is an English word for a rabbit or rabbit hair, deriving from the Latin ''cuniculus'', meaning "rabbit"). == History == In 1862 the island had a population of 124 people, with 45 children attending the local school. The island now has only one family of permanent inhabitants (traceable back to the 1750s) but has many other temporary residents, especially in the summer months.〔(''discoverireland.ie'' )〕 The island gained electricity in 1999 via an underground cable.〔(''Moran, Michael. Sligo Champion, April 1999'' )〕
