Do not leave it until secondary school to get help with maths

Thu, Oct 05, 2017

This is the advice for all parents of primary school children who are experiencing difficulties at school with this core subject. Frank Murphy, manager of FCL Galway, explains that one of the keys to success in maths is having a solid fluency in the foundational maths skills that are taught in primary school.

People of the Tribes: Meet Cathy

Thu, Oct 05, 2017

I'm originally from Claddagh, lived in Mervue till I was 12 and then returned to the Claddagh because my Grandparents came from there and left the house to my Dad. So, I'm a bit of Mervue and Claddagh, best of both worlds! I work in the hospital, part-time in the oncology ward and I take pictures of Galway on the side. I love capturing Galway and showing it in a different light. Galway for me, it's my city, my heart, I love it, it's my home.
