  1. Just as I'm applying for a factory job with Boston Scientific in Galway, they announce that there may be job cuts coming. Great timing. 🙄

  2. Am zweiten Tag unserer #Irland-Reise haben wir uns einige Ausstellungen im Rahmen des #Galway International Arts Festival #GIAF angeschaut, die über die ganze Stadt verteilt sind, in der es erstaunlich viele Palmen gibt und die fest in der Hand aller möglichen Wasservögel wie Möwen und Enten, aber auch Tauben und Raben ist.

  4. It’s wild that a recruiter in #galway can say the company wants workers back in the office full time in 2027 whilst also saying that there’s a massive housing shortage. It’s almost like remote work solved that problem but yet…

  10. Galway is the largest city in Ireland�s Connacht province. It grew around a fortification that was built here in 1124. Today, the city is home to historic buildings, churches, city gates and cemeteries #Galway #Ireland backpackandsnorkel.com/Ireland

  12. Less than 2 weeks after the deadline for submissions Galway City Council has announced new CCTV installations today on Instagram, which tells me public submissions weren’t even read, and decisions were finalised before the deadline even expired. #galway #mastodaoine

  16. The Day of the Final

    We come to it at last. Today is the day of the greatest sporting event of the year, the day we have been waiting for, the event that the eyes of the world will be trained upon. I refer of course to the All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship Final which takes place this afternoon at Croke Park in Dublin. Throw-in is at 3.30pm.

    I’d love to experience the atmosphere of an All-Ireland final in person but it’s an impossible task to get tickets so I’ll be watching the match on TV. Here in Maynooth we get a sample however as many supporters park their cars at the GAA ground in Maynooth and take the train to Drumcondra, which is close to Croke Park. The town will be filled with fans in the green of Limerick or the maroon-and-white of Galway. There will probably more of the latter, as Maynooth is on the direct route from Galway into Dublin. The All-Ireland Final is every bit as big as the FA Cup Final used to be when I was a kid.

    I was a little concerned that the Final would be played in sweltering temperatures, but it is a bit cooler today though still sunny. No rain is forecast, but the temperature will be around 21ºC with light northerly winds of about 8km/h. Close to ideal conditions, I’d say.

    The bookies have Limerick strong favourites at 1/2 with Galway 5/2, but you should bear in mind that last year Cork were strong favourites, but lost to Tipperary after a stunning second-half turnaround. Holders Tipperary had a poor season this time around and didn’t make it to the knockout stages. Cork were beaten by Galway in a semi-final this year. A peculiarity of the Hurling Championship is that Galway, which is in Connacht, play in the Leinster division (because there isn’t enough competition in Connacht). Just few years ago Limerick were invincible, winning four consecutive All-Ireland finals (2020-3) but faded a bit more recently. Can they return to winning ways? We’ll see. I’ll update at half-time and full-time.

    P.S. I believe there’s some football on later too.

  21. Was there a falcon heavy launch just now? Very bright light in the sky moving west to east over #Galway less than an hour ago, didn’t fade like a satellite flare or blink like an aircraft.

  23. Would you enjoy walking along this waterfront in Galway Ireland? ☀️🇮🇪

    Thanks to someone in Texas for giving me a little journey down memory lane by getting a print of this scene. ❤️

  25. Galway today. Ultimately disappointing as there wasn't a whole lot to do. We'd expected more from a city of this size but its history was lacking. An art festival taking place didn't seem to manifest itself in any art. Anyway, saw some sights, shopped, had a drink. Nice and sunny.

    Excitement came from our tender boat hitting the cruise ship hard enough to move the larger vessel and remove paint both outside and inside our boat.

    Cobh tomorrow.
