  2. The #Galway Advertiser isn't usually my first source for news, but this is great: advertiser.ie/galway/article/1

    I can only imagine who the local cheeky chappy who mooned the Guards is... #NoToRacism #SmashTheFash

  3. This was pretty good - a lunchtime presentation from the founder of Byowave on their Proteus accessible controller. It's a very clever and cool design - they key being their little modular "bricks". I'm very impressed that a successful hardware start up has managed to grow in Galway. That isn't easy to achieve.

  5. Looking for a recommendation for folks in the #galway area. My 20+ year old guitar has been loved and played a lot in that time.
    Due to this, my frets have seen better days. The first, second and third frets in particular have been largely flattened out.

    Anyone have any leads on someone who could do a fret dress and crown in the Galway area?

  7. It looked rough in Galway Bay on Sunday morning - there was a yellow wind warning in effect. The Amasus cargo ship was moored just off Mutton island - presumably waiting for an opportunity to dock and unload a cargo of wind turbine blades.

  8. People Before Profit Galway welcomes cancellation of plans for Tynagh gas plant

    "Denman Rooke, candidate for Galway City East, said the science behind addressing future climate change shows us that we have to leave a majority of known fossil fuel reserves in the ground."

  9. Marguerite #Mespoulet and Madeleine #Mignon, two very early color photographers, made 73 #autochrome #photographs in #Ireland in 1913 for Albert Kahn’s #ArchivesofthePlanet project. They are the first color photographs of Ireland and they include this stunning image of a 14-year-old girl in the village of Claddagh outside of #Galway.
    The Irish photographs are not currently included in the digital archive of the #AlbertKahn Museum. My thanks to @anneeroper for letting me know about them.

  10. @Sheril This photo taken in #Galway #Ireland c. 1913 and yes, in colour, not retouched by two #French women photographers #Mespoulet & #Mignon working for philanthropist, #AlbertKahn for his #ArchivesOfThePlanet shows an #Irish boy in skirt to fool the #Fairies into not taking him away (because back then #girls weren't worth as much and it was okay if they were taken by fairies)--so there's another bit of #gender #stereotyping...copyright #AlbertKahnMuseum, #Paris 😍
