The Galway Vindicator of November 24, 1863 reported that “The completion of the Grattan Road will add much to the beauty and salubrity of the handsomest of our suburban districts. The embankment being made by Miss Grattan will reclaim 28 acres of land which is now a swamp, but which will become, with little cultivation, some of the most fertile ground in the neighbourhood. In the past season of distress, Miss Grattan has given great employment to the poor of the neighbourhood in making this road and embankment. Since June last, up to the present time, there have been over 200 labourers employed and from 12 to 14 masons regularly. It will, when finished, alter the appearance of Salthill and contribute much to make that favourite place one of the nicest locations in the kingdom”.

Former Liam Mellows hurler and Salthill-Knocknacarra footballer Mark Barrett will represent Italy at the GAA World Games in Waterford this July.

Galway GAA and a Kildare family were both big winners at the weekend at the conclusion of the successful Win A Home in Galway draw.
