City and county face possible property tax hike in 2015
Homeowners across Galway city and county could be facing up to a 15 per cent hike in their property tax bills from January 2015, despite widespread public assumption the rates will remain unchanged for three years.
Fianna Fáil city councillor Peter Keane is warning that the Government is allowing local authorities to impose a 15 per cent increase from the start of 2015.

Skinnies or not skinnies
Skinny jeans have been around for some time now, and are still a coveted piece in a contemporary wardrobe.

Summer cyclists – a new and colourful hazard on the roads
Working for the AA can get you into hottish water from time to time. There are those who contact me on a fairly regular basis about the behaviour of cyclists. A lot of people have a lot to say about badly behaved cyclists on our roads and a few suggest colourful and rather draconian punishments for them.
