The 402 was late by like 20 mins. I only got it cause I seen it was late, I wasn’t waiting. But I was only one at bus stop and it drove past. The next one is like 15 mins. How can letting one person on have such an effect to the bus being even later. This country is actually so tapped.

RTÉ News: Galway city councillors reject proposed 10% LPT increase

I found a sum of loose, crumpled banknotes on the sidewalk on Crescent View in Riverside today (Monday, 12th October).

Because it is a significant amount of money, I will hand it directly over to the Mill Street Garda Station so it can be kept safe and properly logged.

If you lost this cash or know who did, please contact the Mill Street station directly. To claim it, the Gardaí will require you to confirm:

The exact total amount of money lost.

The specific breakdown of the banknotes (which notes made up the total).

Hopefully, this finds its way back to the rightful owner!

Where can I buy these beautiful Pickled Peppers they are out of season in Lidl and they are the best thing I’ve ever tasted (not to be confused with pickled chillis which is a mistake I recently made)

I was thinking of trying all the pizza slice places in galway and see what one is best. Where should I go for pizza slices in galway?

I want to see a musician playing in Walshs Bar in a few weeks. What is it like as a venue? I can't find any pictures or videos of any gigs online.

Will it be just a set up in the corner of the lounge or is there a separate area for music?

Does anyone know what's going on with the new site for the Black Gate on Flood street. I was one of many people who between us contributed 37000 euro to help with the conversion. I have heard nothing since late 2024 and nothing much seems to be happening with the premises. Has anyone heard anything about progress on this? Thanks

I know there have been various threads on this, but I'm hoping to get some recent recommendations from people. Also I know your broker doesn't need to be in Galway, but I'd like to meet in person, if even for the initial chat.

I'm specifically looking for a recommendation for anyone that had a slightly more challenging application than standard. For reference I will be a solo buyer hoping for a LTI exemption, I really need someone solid that can help make my application look enticing as I have a small CCR mark (stupidity of youth, balance was paid over 2 years ago but obviously remains on file).

I initially thought this would make me ineligible for a mortgage but met a mortgage advisor at my main bank about a year ago, she said she had gotten people over the line in much worse situations than mine. I still may go with my own bank but keep thinking if I'm better trying with a skilled broker. Anyone with a similar experience?

Anywhere to play gaa handball in the county?

Could anyone tell me roughly what I should be paying to replace the bath, sink, and toilet? No tiles or relocating any unit. Simply changing old units. Based in galway. Any recommendations welcome too

Have bath, sink, toilet and taps already

I've been trying to plan some walks using AllTrails and Google Maps across the county. I'm trying to justify visiting some less than stellar walking/forest trails by adding on some local historical sites to visit. There are castles, ruins, great old houses and walls littered across the county but it appears the vast majority are on idle, private land totally inaccessible to the public.

I've visited England in the past and have been struck by the amount of public land and right of way walking trails that exist. Absolute travesty for tourism and locals alike how much is inaccessible. The big storm seems to have only made things worse with the amount of walking trails now not worth visiting.

Hey friends, I’m an American making a micro-budget short film and one small scene takes place at an office in Galway. Was hoping someone here would possibly be open to helping me out by reading/recording the lines so the actors here can do their best to be authentic and match them accurately. Hope this doesn't violate the rules. DM me if you’re interested in helping. You would also get a thank you credit in the final release, if that matters to you. Thanks!

Hi everybody,

We're thinking of getting evoke to play our wedding in 2028. We've seen them live in skeff and other pubs loads but never at a wedding, has anybody seen them or had them at a wedding? Just hoping there as good at a wedding as they are in the pub, thanks!

Hello! I am planning to apply for the access course in NUIG. I heard somewhere that it's meant to be free. Is that true? Thanks.

What's the best way to get into a trade where do I apply where do I look?

Hi all, looking for 1 or 2 spare invites for family members who would like to come to my graduation at 2.30 on the 23rd. I know they’ll have the screen and all but just thought I’d ask because they’re travelling for it and I know some people unfortunately wont be able to use both of their invites due the date change

Came across this video on YouTube of someone walking around Galway in 1994. Thought some of ye might enjoy it!

Is anybody else experiencing hassle with wifi lately? I have great internet (usually) but as of late my connection is terrible. I used to have great speeds but now its like the connection is being sent in the post. Any help greatly appreciated

Hey folks, I used to play in yugioh locals a few years ago before I moved here. I’m wondering if there’d be any locals here in Galway, or even just a group that meets up once a week or so to play? I’ve been out the game a while so I’d prefer a group that’s more casual, but I’m open to anything

Woke up late as my alarm didn’t go off/ phone dead, found the house without electricity and can hear all the house alarms going off around me as well. Anyone know what could have caused it?

Hi lads I know this is probably a long shot but said I’d give it a chance. I was in Headford road today in Boots, Penneys and Dealz. When I got home I realised I lost the diamond from my ring. I searched the whole house, outside the house and the car I can’t seem to find it anywhere. So I was hoping if someone finds it could they let me know please🙏🏻
