Give the gift of travel this Christmas with Fahy Travel and Corrib Travel

Thu, Nov 14, 2019

It is that time of year again. The Christmas season is fast approaching and with only 40 days left before the big day, the last few weeks are usually spent dashing around shops, making lists (and checking them twice), making a mess wrapping gifts, buying the most ridiculous Christmas jumpers and, most importantly, enjoying some well-deserved time off. Buying the perfect gift can be stressful, to say the least, with phones, gift vouchers, and laptops grazing the top of the list. But what do you buy someone who has everything, or someone who is not interested in the latest gadgets and gizmos? The travel specialists at 2 Bridge Street know just the thing.

Alleviate symptoms of pain through gait analysis

Thu, Nov 14, 2019

Do you suffer from pain in your feet, legs, pelvis or back? Often, the cause of this complaint can be found remotely from the location of discomfort. Measuring the movement pattern of the body helps to find the source of the complaint. Gait analysis assists in determining this source. Runner Louise, relates her experience — “I started running years ago. I enjoy competition and love being outdoors. Recently, however, I have found my recovery takes longer and those little niggles harder to shake off. A club colleague mentioned gait analysis. So, I gave APOS a call to try it out. Alana, the clinician, was very professional and spoke in plain language. It proved helpful.”

Diving at Blackrock

Thu, Nov 07, 2019

Up until the mid-19th century, there was a cluster of thatched cottages at Blackrock. on the Night of the Big Wind [January 6, 1839] these were literally blown away by the ferocity of the storm and the tide and most of the occupants had to move inland. They were mostly fishermen and there had always been a tradition of fishing in the area. Blackrock was also a favourite place for men bathing, and in 1885, Mr Moon and some of his friends decided to place a springboard there. Unfortunately they did not have ‘planning permission’ from the owner of the land, Colonel O’Hara, and he had the board removed and made it difficult for the bathers to get to the rock at all. It ended up in court and the urban council stepped in and signed a lease giving a public right of way to the bathing area.

‘I am bloody, raw, nerves hanging out all over the place.’

If Sylvia Plath was hoping for some kind of rapprochement between herself and her husband Ted Hughes during their brief stay with the late Richard Murphy at Cleggan, Co Galway, in September 1962, she was to be quickly disillusioned. In fact she would be abandoned, and plunged into despair. Yet following a visit to Coole Park, and Thoor Ballylee, Sylvia was to take away a spiritual connection with the poet WB Yeats, and a feeling of peace in the tragic build up to her suicide some five months later.

Premier Wardrobes — a name you can trust

Thu, Nov 07, 2019

It is well known that wardrobes play a crucial role in keeping our valuables, particularly our clothes and shoes, organised. But they also enhance the overall look of the entire room, so it is important that when installing a wardrobe it should complement the room's décor. So when it comes to having a wardrobe custom made we want a name we can trust to provide us with the best of quality and style.

Premier Wardrobes has been designing wardrobes for the people of Galway and further afield for more than 20 years. The business was established by Stephen Rowe in 1998 when he returned from the USA. He set about setting up a new business model, where a standard price would be charged for bespoke wardrobe design and fitting services, thereby giving clarity to the whole process of choosing, ordering, and fitting a custom made wardrobe. Since then the business has had a superb track record in delivering an excellent range of sliding door wardrobes, mirrored wardrobes, bedroom storage and under stair storage.
