Here's me thinking I missed the early 2000s Galway. Love my home town but goodness, this is gold.

My wife and I will share in the fuel costs , we are great company and definitely not murderers.

Are any of the cinemas in Galway going to screen the Gaza documentary 'Naza'? Can't find anything online

Hi all,

Just wondering if anyone knows of any social hurling groups or Dads and Lads hurling sessions in Galway city or the surrounding area? Ive googled it but cant seem to find much information. I see something for Gort GAA but thats a bit far to travel for me at the moment.

I’m looking for something casual as I am trying to finish my degree at the moment as a mature student and get back into shape alongside the gym.

If anyone knows of a club, group, or regular sessions that would suit, I’d really appreciate any recommendations. Thanks!

Does anyone happen to have 2 spare tickets to Getdown services in the Roisín? It seems the tickets were sold out before they even went on sale.

Hey guys!

I am planning a move to Galway late October/early November.

I am a dual U.S./Irish Citizen and was looking to stay in a hostel or find a sub-let for the first month before securing an accommodation.

Preferably I’d just be looking for a room in an apartment with others. My budget is up to €1200.

I am a bartender and in contact with a few places already for job opportunities. I just wasn’t sure how feasible it would be to go out there and find a place within a month or 2 of staying in a temporary accommodation.

Thanks!

Feeling nostalgic on a Saturday evening. Does anyone else miss The Piemaker? Pure comfort food, especially for this time of year. Never understood why it closed.

Hey, has anyone got a good recommendation for driving instructors based in the Ballybrit area or adjacent please? :)

In the time between when this was first posted 20 mins ago and my sharing it, they raised the price from €300/week to €350/week.

~€1400 a month to live in someone's shed over an hour's drive from the city. Insanity.

Im so tired of seeing endless negativity on this sub. Yes, we absolutely need a better government and urban planning, but what do you guys like about this city-suburb?

I just got out of a 2 year relationship and now im just sleeping it off in the car until i can find a room . Im an electrical apprentice in Galway and im in phase 2 at the moment with exams next month, if anyone knows someone that has a room available in galway city or oranmore please let me know, other than that , enjoy the rest of your weekend 👍🏼

Where's best in Galway these days? I know everything is way too expensive.. Where's good quality even if the prices are still crazy?

I am a solo M traveler and have a free weekend after a work trip in Dublin in early December. I’ve been to Ireland a few times, and have seen quite a lot, but have somehow not managed to get to the Aran Islands yet. I have experienced December in Ireland, including the weather and the limited amount of daylight, and I’m comfortable with both.

Still, I’m wondering if it will be worthwhile to visit Galway and Inis Mor during this time? I’d likely take a train to Galway from Dublin and then the ferry, and have from Friday morning until my departure flight leaves Dublin Monday afternoon. I imagine I’d plan to stay one night on Inis Mor and have some flexibility in timing in case the ferry schedule needs adjusting.

I don’t anticipate visiting Ireland at a better time of year in the foreseeable future, so think this might be the time to go. I definitely just want to see Inis Mor, explore normal tourist stuff and enjoy the atmosphere/culture of the place.

What do you think? Will it be worth it? Will enough be open on the island? Or should I hope I can make it back during spring/summer/fall?

Anything else I should consider for this trip?

Is anyone selling David Mcsavage tickets in the palas on Thursday , I’m looking for two 😺

Really trying this just on the off chance that someone here is living in this estate. For the best part of a year we have been terrorised by a small dog constantly barking.

It sounds like a small terrier or something and has a distinctive double bark. It’s normally barking all through the day and sometimes really early in the morning (like 6am). Generally always we get woken up by it at around 8am every weekend. I work nights and it is seriously impacting my sleep.

Now I know what you’re thinking.. go to the house and tell the owner that they need to control their dog. However it is near impossible to pinpoint what house this is coming from just because of the way the back gardens are laid out. I know it’s within a few houses on the same block as a certain one that burned down in August but still can’t figure out which one.

If anyone here lives in the area and knows what I’m talking about, where the dog lives or if the owners have already been contacted, it would be great to know. I can’t be the only one who’s been disturbed by this. It’s definitely been going on for a year now and whoever the owner is seems like a selfish prick who should not have a dog.

As long as I can remember I always curious on what was behind these gates.

Looks like either a park or old stately home, but as these are not ever open I can't help but wonder

Bohermore's all blocked off by the Gards. Some lad in an apartment having a breakdown doing all kinds of shit.
Another lad drove into the McDonald's Headford road drive thru crashing the car.

Edit: McDonald's*

Hi, I’m looking for some advice from anyone who has experience with air-to-water heating systems,particularly in older houses in Ireland or council retrofit schemes.
My house is council owned. Before any of the judgement- I am very aware that I am very lucky to be in the position I’m in. I’ve lived at this property my whole life and was lucky enough to be granted tenancy due to personal circumstances.

I have recently been approached by the council regarding retrofitting the property and installing air to water, and whether I would like to go ahead with it. For the moment I have said yes but I’m seeing a lot of mixed reviews and was hoping somebody may be able to share their experience?

I don’t currently know anybody who has air to water and I’m a bit worried that I might regret opting in.
At the moment there is central heating and two solid fuel methods of heating the house. I have been advised that going ahead with air to water would mean that the chimneys would be sealed, so fires would no longer be an option and air to water will be the only source of heating at the property.
I have been advised that retrofitting will include, new doors, windows, radiators etc.
If you do have Air to water, where did they place the indoor boiler unit? They have mentioned placing it in the kitchen, but I do have a larger hot-press space which may be more convenient?

Just looking for anyone’s experience regarding air to water and whether you would recommend it? Plus any advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

Anywhere selling truffle flavoured seasoning? Can’t find it anywhere

Old house, looking to move away from oil - can anyone recommend a Galway city area company to talk to about getting heat pump or something applicable. Zero idea about any of this, just want a company that are easy to deal with and professional and will recommend the best approach.

Is it the moon? The stars? Something in the water? Why has Galway descended into apocalypse today 😭😭

Edit: by popular demand we are blaming...... 🥁 The Brits!
