People of the Tribes: Meet Niall.

Thu, Jun 14, 2018

Hi, I'm Niall and Galway has been my new home since 2015 when I moved here to study English and Psychology at NUIG. After finishing my Leaving Cert at home in Sligo, I spent a year in New Zealand to complete a plastering apprenticeship (which is why I moved back home to study - manual labour in this slender frame? Nope!)

People of the Tribes: Meet Arun.

Wed, Jun 13, 2018

Hi, my name is Arun. I was born in Romanian and raised here in Ireland, so I consider myself to be Irish. I've been living in Galway for 17 years. Galway, I liked it the minute I came here in 2001. Before Galway, I was in Dublin, the place was so big, when I would go out it was really hard to make friends and but when I moved to Galway, my independence began the following day. I was able to pop to the shops on my own, go to college. The freedom is just amazing. I was lucky when wheelchair buses were implemented in Galway City, not all the routes had them at the time, sometimes I would face challenges but that has phased out thank God! This year I will volunteer with the Galway Arts Festival 2018. This year will be my 6th year, which shows how motivated and dedicated I am to the organisation and I love it, every year is different and so too is the work! I love volunteering especially when I find it hard to get paid work. Like everyone else, I have a lot of skills to offer any business in admin, photography but because I am a wheelchair user many businesses around the city see the wheelchair first and don't see the person or the skills that you have. While Galway is small and you make a lot of friends it's very hard to get a job because there are fewer opportunities. That's the Galway Ying and the Yang! I love to dance, my dancing technique is very different but the thing I love to do is capture people dancing, the enjoyment, the moment, the atmosphere, expressing their personalities with my photography. It's inspiring!

People of the Tribes: Meet Fred.

Tue, Jun 12, 2018

I moved into Galway the same day the black Swan arrived. So it made sense the Swan was going to make more of an impact. I realized that been on the road most Thursday to Saturdays, Galway was a good place to rest my head and do nothing. The hairdresser on Abbey Gate told me that once you move here, you’d never leave. I now understand where he’s coming from. I really love Galway and I don’t want to leave it. I’ll miss its local town comfort and the craic with my housemates Mary and John. Taking both to The Cliffs of Moher in October, thinking this would help their cough. It was always great to have my Sister’s Family in Clarrinbridge to call over too.
