Ryan Hanley Consulting Engineers is to carry out a comprehensive study of the River Clare and the Lisheenavalla, Claregalway, Caherlea, and Ardskeaghmore areas following the winter floods.

Bus shelters for Loughgeorge and Claregalway could be provided if a meeting between Fianna Fáil Oranmore candidate Malachy Noone and Bus Éireann proves successful.

One of the most dramatic and legendary events in the history of Irish foxhunting took place with the Galway Blazers on December 19 1953 between Cregg Castle, Corandulla, and beyond the Clare river, near Anbally. This is great fox hunting terrain. It’s level going, open and free. When on a good scent the hounds will skim the walls and allow no time for man or beast to make mistakes if they want to stay close to them. December 19 1953 was a clear, frosty day, with similar temperatures to those we are enduring these past few weeks. The hounds were in full pursuit ‘skimming the long low walls the way the swallows do’. After a four mile chase they hit the river Clare about a mile short of the nearest bridge at Corofin village.
