Patrick McDonagh from Galway was born in 1817 and married Sarah Cooney. They had a son Michael who married Peggy Wallace in 1870, and they in turn had a son Colman in 1875. He had a habit of whispering in people's ears and so became known as ‘Cogar’. In 1902, he moved from Carraroe to Galway and rented stores at the back of the Spanish Arch from Peter Greene. From there, he began to sell coal, carrying it on a horse and cart.

Micheál Breathnach prevailed in a tight contest to win the West Board U19B League final, edging out Oughterard by a single point, 2- 12 2 -11, in An Spidéal on Sunday.

Homeless charity Galway Simon Community has raised concerns as the latest figures released by the Department of Housing, Planning and Local Government reveal that the number of young adults (18 – 24) living in Emergency Accommodation is growing faster than any other category, against a backdrop of rising rents and a deepening housing crisis. There were 481 people living in Emergency Accommodation across Galway, Mayo and Roscommon in April, an increase of 19% on the previous year. The increase in the number of young adults living in Emergency Accommodation in the same period was 44%.

If the craic and fun that Mayo have a training, that their manager says they have continues this week - you can’t count them out of putting a Christy Ring Cup title alongside the Nickey Rackard Cup they claimed last year.

Others doubted, but Philip McDonagh simply believed that possibilities existed. Even when training numbers were initially low, McDonagh stayed optimistic and on Sunday at Eamonn Deacy Park, West United's perseverance was rewarded.
