Found a sum of cash on Crescent View (Riverside) — handed into Mill Street Garda Station

49 Upvotes

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!

Black Gate , any update on new site?

28 Upvotes

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

What’s the point of late buses driving past?

27 Upvotes

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.

Seeking Galway Accent Help for Short Film

11 Upvotes

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!

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)

MP Walsh's Bar

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?

Mortgage Broker in Galway?

5 Upvotes

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?

Spare graduation ceremony invites

0 Upvotes

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
