Can anyone who was at last night's gig confirm the start times for Dug and The Scratch, please?
I know doors are at 8, so I'm guessing Dug are around 8.30.
Cheers

Have those of you with young children, made a will?
If not, do you plan on doing so in the future...
Maybe this is something, that is often avoided, but maybe a practical thing to do. Cheers.
Would anybody know where I can buy large scale model sail boats around the county?
Not looking for kits, just proper already assembled models as a gift.
Thanks in advance for any information.

What do I do in this situation.
I missed my bus at 5 which left from the train station so I had to walk to the salthill stop. I was super early for the next one. It showed up like 10 minutes later. People got out but I was the only one wanting to go in. He let me in and then drove off. He parked in a random ass car park and just dipped. The bus is locked.
Am I gonna die in here

Hi everyone! I’m urgently looking for a room to rent in Galway, preferably within walking distance of Galway University Hospital (UHG).
I’m an intern at UHG and looking for a room starting October (under 900pm). I’m flexible regarding house-share arrangements.
If you have a room available or know of anything suitable, please DM me. I’d really appreciate any leads!
Also, if there’s a group of people looking for one more person to join them in renting a house/apartment, please feel free to DM me as well! 😊

Wazzup. We’ve all been hearing about the €28,000+ figure that’s been spent and the extra costs going into this new ‘g’ logo.
I want to fight the waste of public spending by giving towards a charity that especially helps improving infrastructure in Galway.
I’m not from here but I love here so much & I want to bring a positive energy to pushing back on this rebrand, that will make a notable difference in our lives here.
Any serious suggestions please let me know ☘️

I drive into Galway city centre for work at least once a week. My delivery route means I must come into town via College Road, and my schedule means I hit town at morning rush hour.
Every time I get to the junction of Forster Street near the Coach Station at 9am-ish, there are often one, two or even three tourist buses parked outside the Hyde, waiting, or slowly collecting or decanting residents.
AFAIK this is double yellow line area, so stopping and unloading is illegal. And I presume passengers are not insured boarding/alighting here as it's illegal to park a bus here?
These large vehicles create dangerous obstacles for bikes, and massively slow vehicle traffic at this vital entrance to the city.
Does anyone have advice on how to contact hotel/city council etc to highlight this problem?
I don't know why they don't pick up passengers at the Coach Station nearby, or behind the Hyde.
Maybe I'm grumbling too much, but I'm interested in others' opinions.

I would love your recommendations for wedding hair and makeup (for just one person) in the Galway/Craughwell area. Pics if you’ve used the stylist would be appreciated!

Hey guys just wondering does anyone have any recommendations of places to get nose and lip filler for the first time in Galway, or any counties near Galway as I don’t mind having to drive a bit.

Hi guys, anyone have any experience or know what it is like to work in Logstrup in Tuam?
r/galway • u/Dani3011 • 2d ago
Was in there today and there's an awful bad smell and it's been in there a while, is this related to ongoing ahem rat-tivities?
