Independent Radio Galway

Thu, Nov 14, 2019

In 1978, RTE was on strike for some time which meant the repair shop in O’Connor TV had nothing to do, so John O’Sullivan and friends built a 30-watt transmitter and this prompted Tom O’Connor, John O’Sullivan, and Eamonn Geary to get together and set up a pirate radio station called Independent Radio Galway. Their studio was in an attic in the courtyard behind Cahill’s shop in William Street, and when this space became too small, they moved to a larger room over Garavans, where Johnny Waldron’s Joke Shop is today. The 199 metre aerial ran from the top of Glynns to the top of Gleesons. Their furniture consisted of two tables, a few chairs, the home-made transmitter, two turntables, and a few minor pieces of equipment.

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

Thu, Nov 14, 2019

It is that time of year again.

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.”
