O’Donnellan & Joyce will bring six properties to auction tomorrow (Friday) in the Victoria Hotel at 3pm. Colm O’Donnellan of O’Donnellan & Joyce said he anticipates exceptional interest as each property comes with a very attractive reserve (minimum) price in order to achieve sales. There is tremendous variety on offer, from houses in the city centre for first time buyers to homes in the country and substantial detached houses in Salthill.

I know it’s only a rumour, but nevertheless profoundly believed, that male medical students have an easy time with the girls. Many women appear to be under the impression that a doctor would make a ‘lovely husband’, and exert their wiles to make them believe they would make a perfect doctor’s wife.

The Victoria Hotel is expected to be a hive of activity on Friday February 26 when O’Donnellan & Joyce hold its first massive probate and discount property auction.

Johnny Glynn was only 46 when he died on January 10 1959, midway through his term as president of the Irish Rugby Football Union. He was a director of Glynn’s famous fancy goods and toy shop on William Street (where you could buy tickets for rugby internationals). He was educated at the Bish, played rugby for Galwegians and Connacht (12 caps), became a well known referee, served in various offices including president of his club, and dedicated himself to the advancement of the game of rugby in Connacht. He was a modest man who preferred to work away in the background and demanded only that there be no departure from the spirit of the game, no lapse from the fundamental decency of rugby football.

Galway’s most popular athletic event, the 2009 Future Streets of Galway 8k Road Race, takes place this Saturday evening (August 8).

Guth na n-Óg was originally set up as a youth club in the late 1940s. Some of those involved in its setting up were Páid McNamara, Fr Fitzgibbon SJ, Tom Walsh (who worked in O’Gorman’s), Seán Kirby, Paddy Gleeson from William Street, and Ivor Kenny. Initially they used to meet in the Arus in Dominick Street but they fell foul of the authorities there because they did not speak Irish all the time, so they moved to the British Legion building on Father Griffin Road (Where Yeats College was until recently). Each member got a membership card and a badge. They used to play indoor games and have music sessions, and eventually they formed a céilí band and held a céilí every Saturday evening. They also formed a marching pipe band which thrived for a number of years.

126 Lower Salthill

If you are looking for a home with character then look no further than No 124 Lower Salthill. Rockwell has had some minor refurbishment in recent years and it still retains most of its original characteristics, such as high ceilings and a very attractive bay window to the front which was part of the design of these wonderful homes.

Grace Henry was born in Aberdeen in 1868. She studied art in Paris where she worked with Andre Lhote. It was there she met the Irish artist Paul Henry, and they married in 1903. They returned to Ireland to paint. In 1912 they went on holiday to Achill Island, and ended up staying there for eight years. They both painted a lot on the island, but also in other areas in the west. Her work was very influenced by Paul in those years. Eventually they moved back to Dublin and, in the late 1920s, they separated. They continued to paint and each developed a major artistic reputation. Grace died in 1953.
