Four Connacht players have been named to the Ireland squad for this weekend’s final round of the WXV3 against Spain at the Sevens Stadium in Dubai.

Meabh Deely and Beibhinn Parsons are in the backline of the starting XV for Saturday’s game, while Aoibheann Reilly and Nicole Fowley take their places among the replacements.

Head Coach Scott Bemand’s side have recorded two impressive wins against Kazakhstan and Colombia in the opening rounds of the campaign in Dubai.

Saturday’s showdown against Spain is set to determine the overall winners of the inaugural WXV3 title.

Regional qualifiers in 2024 will decide the identity of the three European teams to play in WXV2, but there is plenty to play this weekend.

Ireland head into the final round on top of the standings, a point ahead of Spain and a points difference of +131.

Ireland, therefore, only need to avoid defeat in Dubai to claim the first-ever WXV 3 title.

Commenting on the squad announcement, Bemand said, “Competition for places in this final round squad has been high, this is exactly where we want to be.”

“It has taken 31 players to get to this point and both this squad and individuals have grown over these three weeks.”

“We have previous history with Spain and we know this will be a level up of competition that this squad needs to test itself against.”

“It’s great to see Aoife Wafer back in the group, after some time away from international rugby and looking forward to seeing what this team’s best performance can look like.”

Saturday’s match is available to stream for free on RugbyPass TV, while there will be live updates on Irish Rugby social media channels.

Four Galway towns and villages still discharging raw sewage

Galway Daily news Four Galway towns and villages still discharging raw sewage

Four towns and villages in Galway were still discharging raw sewage into waterways in mid-2023 according to the latest EPA report.

The most recent Urban Waste Water Treatment Report found that Roundstone, Carraroe, Spiddal, and Ahascragh were all still discharging raw sewage in the middle of this year.

The report found that 26 towns and villages are still discharging raw sewage, with Uisce Eireann committing to eliminating the majority by 2025.

Progress has been made on shortening that list, with six villages connected to new wastewater treatment plants in 2022.

Launching the report, Dr Tom Ryan, EPA Director said that this progress was encouraging, but added that, “waste water remains a significant pressure on Ireland’s water ways and is adversely impacting water quality.”

“The pace at which Uisce Éireann is delivering improvements needs to accelerate to prevent pollution and protect water quality.

He added, “Uisce Éireann must take the opportunity of its new investment plan for 2025 to 2029 to deliver waste water infrastructure that meets the needs of our society and protects and improves our environment into the future.”

“The investment plan must prioritise resources to prevent pollution in the priority areas highlighted by the EPA.”

In other bad news from the report, it found that less than half of Ireland’s wastewater, 45 percent, met with EU standards.

However, a lot of this volume is in the capital, and that number is expected to shift significantly when the upgrade of Ireland’s largest treatment plant at Ringsend in Dublin is complete.

Galway actress Ciara Cox nominated for Réalt Óg na Bliana at Oireachtas Media Awards 2023

The much sought-after Gradam Cumarsáid takes place next week during the annual Oireachtas 2023, and a promising young Galway actress is up for an award.

Ciara Cox, who hails from Spiddal in Connemara has been nominated in the Réalt Óg na Bliana category of the awards.

Cox caught the eyes of the judges for her role in the brand new TG4 teenage drama series Saol Ella, for which she received her nomination. She also plays the part of Maeve in the long-running TG4 drama series Ros na Rún.

The Oireachtas na Samhna 2023 opens next Wednesday, November 1 in the INEC Killarney.

The prestigious annual event celebrates the Irish Language, its Culture, Heritage, Music, Song, Dance, its people and artists, and Irish Language Media, including actors, journalists, and programming across all media platforms.

The Gradam Cumarsáid takes place on the opening day of the festival, and Galwegians can help Ciara land the award by texting Gradam2 to 51500.

Saol Ella is centred on the story of teenage girl Ella who’s growing up in a fictional coastal village on the Wild Atlantic Way, where Gaeilgeoirí, and the Coláistí Gaeilge have been part of summer life for generations.

It depicts the story of Ella and a group of local teenagers, a host family and what the visiting Gaeilgeoirí bring to their lives.

Bursting with excitement to be getting out of school, hanging out with her friends and 3 months of summer adventures, boyfriends, first kisses and all the fun of a carefree teenage life ahead of her, Ella is numbed to find out her father has decided to take in Gaeilgóirí – Irish College Students for the entire summer.

Ciara Cox is no stranger to TG4’s TV screens as she’s grown up on the set of the highly popular drama series Ros na Rún where she plays the part of Meave.

Ciara first joined Ros na Rún at the tender age of 8 to play the part of Maeve and quickly fell in love with her after-school activity of TV acting.

Now 17 in reality and in 5th year in Coláiste Croí Mhuire an Spidéal, Ciara Cox has the acting bug and successfully combines her school work with her growing TV Irish language acting career.

“From the moment I auditioned for the part of Maeve with Ros na Rún, I’ve been in my element, learning lines, and picking up tips from my wonderful fellow Ros na Rún actors.”

“My parents tell me I’m always performing lots of amateur dramatics at home but it’s only because I love acting,” smiles Ciara Cox.

“My years with Ros na Rún have increased my passion for acting and developed my TV acting skills and to be successful in achieving the lead role with Saol Ella was beyond my wildest dreams.”

“I absolutely loved Ella and being part of a teenage drama and thank the Gradam Cumarsáid for my wonderful nomination as a Réalt Óg na Bliana”, she added.

A more than €3 million gift for Croí Heart & Stroke charity has been called a “once in a lifetime transformational” donation which will allow great accomplishments.

The legacy gift from the Joe & Helen O’Toole Charitable Trust, in memory of the late well-known Tuam business couple, will fund what the charity has described as ‘transformational community projects’ aimed at preventing stroke and supporting stroke survivors.

Announcing details of how the legacy gift will be used, Croí CEO Neil Johnson outlined two separate but interconnected components to a major initiative which will literally save lives and greatly improve the quality of life for many stroke survivors and their families.

First of those will be the purchase custom design of two mobile health units which will be used for early detection of stroke and cardiac risk in the community.

When ready they will also be able to be used as mobile community education and awareness centres as required.

The two units, an articulated truck and a large Mercedes van will be custom built and equipped to travel throughout the west of Ireland and indeed nationally. In addition to the vehicles the legacy fund will also help support staffing and running costs.

The second project underwritten by this donation will be the construction of a new dedicated stroke building which will be connected by a link corridor to the main Croí Heart & Stroke Centre in Newcastle, Galway.

This new custom-built facility will be used to provide a stroke recovery day program for those recovering from stroke.

The legacy fund will also support the appointment of specialist staff to develop and deliver this much needed service, and a minibus, already purchased, to transport patients and their carers.

Croí CEO Neil Johnson said, “This unbelievably generous and unexpected gift from the Joe & Helen Charitable O’Toole Trust, Tuam, is a once in a lifetime transformational donation which will allow Croí undertake lifesaving work in the community.”

“This mobile health infrastructure will bring Croí to every corner of the west of Ireland, providing free assessment and early detection of stroke and cardiac risk which we know will save lives.”

“The new Croí Stroke Hub will provide a much-needed community day program to support stroke survivors and their carer’s – currently no such facility exists in the west of Ireland. This building will be a living legacy to the memory and kindness of Joe & Helen O’Toole”.

Joe O’Toole’s career in the retail industry began in the 1940s when assisting his father and uncle in a travelling shop that serviced the region around Headford, Co. Galway.

In 1967, he opened his own venture, a small supermarket on Bishop Street, Tuam which has developed into the current O’Toole’s Supervalu store, the Palace Restaurant, and the adjoining department/hardware store.

“Joe and Helen believed in supporting worthy local causes and investing in community projects” said trustee Mattie O’Toole.

“During their lifetimes, the O’Toole’s donated significant sums to community, sporting, cultural and spiritual projects and the trust is honoured to continue this legacy of charitable giving in their memory.”

Croí Chairman, Mark Gantly said that the chairty is, “deeply indebted to the Joe & Helen O’Toole Charitable Trust for this landmark donation, the first of its magnitude in the history of Croí.”

“This legacy gift allows Croí to fast track a number of strategic initiatives in response to unmet local need which otherwise would have taken many years to address.”

“The real beneficiaries are those recovering from the often devastating impact of a stroke. We will be forever grateful to the Trust for this remarkably supportive gift”.

How important is a website for modern businesses? Some might say “very,” but we assert that it’s essential. This fundamental truth applies to both small startups and large enterprises. Even before 2020, the Internet played a vital role in how people engaged with businesses. When COVID-19 hit, even those who were not fond of online shopping began appreciating websites more, finding them user-friendly and visually appealing.

A well-designed and optimized website is a powerful tool for businesses to showcase their products or services to potential customers and boost their online visibility. However, to unleash its full potential, a website must be created meticulously and with great care. Without proper attention to detail, all the effort put in might not produce the expected outcomes.

GoodFirms estimated that the primary reasons why people leave websites include slow loading times (mentioned by 88.5% of respondents), lack of responsiveness across devices (73.1%), and confusing navigation and website structure (61.5%). In today’s digital age, people have little patience for websites that don’t function smoothly, underscoring the need for developers to create sites that quickly engage visitors and work flawlessly across various devices.

Footpath maintenance should be priority in Galway city

Galway Daily news Anti-Far Right public meeting in Galway City this evening

Cllr Alan Curran of the Social Democrats has called for an increase in funding for a dedicated footpath maintenance team for the city.

He said that there are growing concerns regarding the deteriorating state of public footpaths all over the city making it difficult for users to navigate our streets.

At the last council meeting on 9 October, it was confirmed to Cllr Curran that no resources were available within the roads department to fund a maintenance team.

“The city wide network of footpaths is twice the length of our road network, and yet while funding is readily available to maintain and improve our road network, there is no dedicated team to ensure our footpaths are in a decent condition for all users,” said Cllr Curran.

“Broken and uneven surfaces, encroaching grass, overhanging branches and accumulated leaf litter cause significant accessibility issues for users, especially those pushing buggies, wheelchairs and those with mobility devices.”

He said that the fragmented nature of our walking network where footpaths abruptly end, forcing pedestrians to share the road has been well documented, and there have been many calls from local community groups all over the city to complete these links.

Social Democrat candidate for Galway Central, Eibhlín Seoighthe, said that some residents have been waiting over 30 years for a footpath to be extended in their communities such as Maunsells Road, Shantalla and Newcastle Road.

New residential developments all over the city are still being approved and built without footpaths linking these developments to local services, she said.

“With more people choosing more active means of getting around it is high time that narrow, broken, disappearing and non-existent footpaths are identified, repaired and built to ensure they are suitable for all to use.”

Galway Daily news Kinvara Boil Water Notice

Works to improve the water network in Loughrea Town are continuing with Uisce Éireann working to lift the Boil Water Notice affecting customers there as soon as possible.

The project, being carried out in partnership with Galway County Council, involves the replacement of 1.8km of cast iron water mains with new pipework.

Uisce Éireann’s Justin Doran explained that as sections of the existing cast iron network are replaced, Uisce Éireann and Galway County Council will be in a position to consult with the HSE with a view to lifting the Boil Water Notice in sections.

“Crews are currently working on replacing 619m of the 1.8km of old cast iron water mains, which is a critical step in safeguarding the water supply to homes and businesses in Loughrea ensuring a safer, more sustainable water supply,” he said.

“We acknowledge the inconvenience that customers on this supply are experiencing and would like to reassure them that we are working as quickly and as efficiently as possible to complete this vital programme of works for the town and provide them with a safe and secure water supply for generations to come.”

Two organisations in Galway have been successful in receiving funding from the Vhi Health and Wellbeing Fund.

CURVE and Venture Out Wilderness Project are among 13 organisations in Ireland to receive funding for projects which aim to strengthen resilience in young people and help them manage anxiety.

Non-profit organisations who work with young people in Cork, Donegal, Dublin, Galway, Kilkenny and Limerick were invited to apply for a share of the €100,000 fund.

Curve is a voluntary organisation set up in August 2022 in response to Ukrainian residents arriving to Esker Monastery in Athenry.

Their mission is to build a representative body of residents and volunteers at Esker Monastery to ensure positive outcomes for all.

The funding received from Vhi will support the delivery of its Young Adult Leaders Programme. Over the course of a week, 12 young adults aged 16 to 20 will receive leadership training in order to lead a confidence camp for events for children aged 12/13 in the locality.

Venture Out Wilderness Project offers a range of creative and innovative nature based programmes and interventions to support young people from disadvantaged communities requiring support to manage adversity and affect positive change in their lives.

The funding they received will support them in continuing to deliver and expand their ‘Two Wolves Health & Wellbeing Programme’.

This is an experiential school-based programme for young boys and men, aiming to promote their health and wellbeing, while also addressing issues around what it is to be a man in today’s world.

In addition to the funding, Vhi introduced a new element this year through the creation and delivery of a bespoke Trauma Informed Care & Wellness programme. The programme was made available to all of the successful youth groups, with 28 youth leaders participating in the sessions.

Karen Blake, Client Relationship Manager, Vhi, said that they are delighted that this year another 13 innovative projects are benefitting from the Health & Wellbeing Fund.

“In addition, we were really pleased to introduce a bespoke Trauma Informed Care & Wellness programme for youth workers,” she said.

“The aim of this programme is to equip the youth workers with the necessary skills in mental health and wellbeing to support both the young people they work with and their own personal wellbeing and resilience.

“Clinical Psychologists and Health Coaches from Vhi delivered a series of guided sessions to youth leaders designed to improve skills in physical, mental and emotional health and wellbeing to pass on to young people in their projects and to their peers.

“The uptake and reaction to the programme has been very positive and demonstrates how important access to this type of training is. We had 28 youth leaders participate in the programme this year and I hope that’s a number we can grow in the future.”

Galway County Council to get rid of outdated website

By

-

October 26, 2023

Galway County Council’s current website is outdated, old and not giving the county the profile it deserves, Cllr Andrew Reddington has said.

Cllr Reddington brought up the issue of the website at the plenary meeting of Galway County Council on Monday, where he said the executive should invest in a much-needed update.

He said that he doesn’t believe the website is operating the way it should be, and that he has tried to download forms and there are forms that are outdated still on the system.

“The graphics, links and the whole image of it are not appealing. We need to sell this great county better than we are he stated. The website could be a great tool to promote our county,” he said.

“When I look at Mayo County Councils website, the first thing that pops up is ‘how can I help you’ unfortunately the Galway County Councils website is more challenging to navigate.”

Reddington said that having a good online presence, particularly a website, can improve the council’s credibility across the country.

“He stated at the meeting that the social media aspect of the council doing their business was excellent with regular updates on jobs available but I do be embarrassed with the website when I log on.

“Liam Conneally CEO of Galway County Council stated that this was something he wanted to work on straight away, he said he was openly disappointed with the website and had planned to get a team together immediately to improve it and this was the first item he had raised with his team since he took over as CEO.”

Cllr Reddington sincerely thanked Mr Conneally for his commitment to do this so early in his tenure as CEO and believed this investment would be a game changer for the county.

Galway Daily news 67 people on trolleys at UHG

There have been almost 10,000 patients on trolleys in Galway’s hospitals so far this year.

University Hospital Galway has been the third most overcrowded this year to date, with 7,453 patients spending time on trolleys.

At Portiuncula Hospital in Ballinasloe there have been almost 2,300 more patients without available for them.

Nationwide, there have been over 101,000 patients admitted to hospital without a bed so far this year, including 582 today, according to the Irish Nurses and Midwives Organisation.

INMO General Secretary, Phil Ní Sheaghdha said that the union’s Executive Council met yesterday and, “reinforced the position that safe staffing underpinned by legislation is urgently required in order to protect patients no matter where they are in the system.”

She said that the INMO will be undertaking a process of engagement with its members, to ensure that any efforts to compel them to deviate from safe practices are resisted.

Today alone UHG was the second most overcrowded hospital in the country, with 57 patients on trolleys, and another eight were without beds at Portiuncula.

“Behind the trolley figures that the INMO publishes every day are extremely vulnerable patients being treated in undignified and dangerous conditions.”

“Over 100,000 people have gone without a bed this year and it isn’t even the end of October, this was entirely predictable.”

“It is shocking that the necessary measures have not been taken by the HSE and individual hospital groups to alleviate this level of overcrowding.”

This special brunch will see a panel of expert speakers share their thoughts on this vital initiative, helping to spread awareness about why it’s crucial to be aware – as well as how to put this awareness into everyday action.

The panel will be chaired by PorterShed and Galway City Innovation District CEO, Mary Rodgers.

Speakers will include Dr. Jennifer Jones, Director of Training and Education, National Institute for Prevention and Cardiovascular Health; Dr Lisa Hynes, Head of Health Programmes and Health Psychologist at Croí; and Aisling Harris, Cardiac and Weight Management Dietician at Croí.

On the day, everyone who attends will be treated to a delightful drinks reception – the ideal ice-breaker – followed by a delectable three-course brunch served in a glam setting.

The Croí Women at Heart Brunch on November 19 promises to be a memorable get-together. It is being showcased at HYDE Bar on Galway’s Forster Street, offering a fabulous boho-chic location for what promises to be a memorable evening of relaxed fun, heart health awareness, and healthy discussion.

Tickets are priced at €55 each, and you can purchase tickets for the Croí Women at Heart Brunch at croi.ie/event/women-at-heart-brunch/ or by clicking this link.

The volunteer crew were tasked by the Irish Coast Guard at 1:45pm on Tuesday following a report that three people were stranded on Omey Island.

Clifden’s Atlantic 85 lifeboat was launched by volunteer Helm, Kenny Flaherty, with Joe Acton and Neill Gallery as crew.

Weather conditions today were good with calm seas and the lifeboat crew had no difficulty locating the walkers on Omey Island.

The casualties were found to be well and did not require medical assistance. They were returned to the shore at Claddaghduff where Cleggan Coast Guard provided further assistance.

Speaking after the shout, Clifden RNLI Lifeboat Operations Officer John Brittain said, “We would remind locals and visitors to always check tide times and heights before venturing out to Omey and to always make sure you have enough time to return safely.”

“If you do get cut off by the tide, it is important to stay where you are and not attempt a return to shore on your own as that may be when the danger presents and you get into difficulty.”

“Always carry a means of communication and should you get into difficulty or see someone else in trouble, dial 999 or 112 and ask for the Coast Guard.”

Galway Daily news Employers at ATU Careers Fair highlight construction skills shortage

Thirty employers attended a Built Environment Careers Fair at Atlantic Technological University’s Galway City campus recently.

They highlighted that short of graduates in different built environment fields will impact our ability to tackle the climate emergency and deliver critical housing and infrastructure.

Employers met and engaged with students from Architectural Technology, Civil Engineering, Construction Management and Quantity Surveying degree programmes about new graduate opportunities and placement positions.

All programmes in the Department of Building and Civil Engineering offer placement opportunities to students in the third year of their studies.

These work placements enhance the student learning experience and ensure students have valuable experience prior to entering the workplace and increases their employment prospects.

John Hanahoe, Senior Lecturer, ATU Dept of Building & Civil Engineering said, “Many of the employers attending the event highlighted the shortage in suitably qualified graduates to work in all sectors of the built environment sector.”

“Because of the shortage of graduates, the starting salaries and employment conditions for graduates have increased significantly to try to attract skilled professionals.”

A major shift in focus in built environment programmes in ATU Galway in the last decade is the focus on sustainability and tackling the climate emergency.

Dr Shane Newell added, “Graduates entering the construction sector will be at the coalface tackling climate change and this makes it a very rewarding and exciting time to be entering the profession”.

ATU Galway offers Ordinary Degree (Level 7) and Honours Degree (Level 8) programmes in Architectural Technology, Civil Engineering, Construction Management and Quantity Surveying.

Galway Daily news Record breaking numbers come out for Croí Night Run

Record breaking numbers of people took part in the annual Croí Night Run this month, with 2,000 people coming out in Salthill, and more further afield.

The 9th annual Night Run in aid of Croí took place on Friday, October 13, with people joining in the 5km walk or run along Salthill Promenade, or joining virtually in other locales.

The addition of the virtual participation, which first came about in the pandemic, has been kept due to the level of interest from those supporting the charity.

Broadcaster, Dáithí Ó’Sé, was in attendance to welcome and support participants along the 5km route and shared his own story of how he has made changes to his daily routine to improve his own cardiovascular health.

“2000 people joined us this year on the promenade, a significant increase on last year,” says Christine Flanagan, Croí’s Director of Fundraising.

“It’s always a special event given the location and the atmosphere and team spirit has been marvelous.”

“We are delighted to have Benecol on board this year as the sponsor. This event provides essential funds to allow Croí to continue our lifesaving work throughout communities”.

The proceeds of the events will support Croí’s vital programme of work, across prevention and support initiatives for patients and carers.

These include community health checks, awareness and education events, the Croí Connects helpline, and the Croí Courtyard Apartments, which are free to families in need while their loved ones receive heart or stroke care.

Laura O’Connell, Brand Manager at Benecol, commented that they were thrilled to be sponsors of the Night Run event this year.

“We value our work with Croí immensely, they are generating much-needed awareness for preventative heart-care across Ireland, something that Benecol values highly.”

“Team Benecol was delighted to attend the Night Run ourselves and it was amazing to see such a fantastic turnout!”

iRadio also supported the fundraising event as the media partner.

Triple-header for Galway rally driver Aoife Raftery

October 25, 2023

The rally season may be drawing to a close for most competitors but Galway’s Aoife Raftery will contest three events, across three different categories in three different countries and in as many weekends.

The first female to be selected to join the Motorsport Ireland Rally Academy, which she has been part of since 2022, got her busy schedule which got underway in Laois last Saturday.

Laois Rallysprint

She contested the Laois Gravel Rallysprint in a new-for-her Ford Fiesta Rally 4.

Raftery made her rally debut on the Nicky Grist Stages in Wales in 2021 and has subsequently driven a range of front-wheel-drive machinery in rallying across Ireland, the UK and further afield, having contested the FIA Junior European Rally Championship this year.

Saturday’s result, aided by co-driver Geraldine McBride, at the wheel of the PM Rally Hire Ford Fiesta Rally 4 – her first time driving that particular machine.

British Rally Championship finale in Wales

It sets her up nicely for the final round of the final round of the British Rally Championship which takes place in Wales on Saturday.

The Llandudno-based The Visit Conwy Cambrian Rally is an all-gravel event and will cover a 90-kilometre event over rally roads previously used in Wales Rally GB.

Iconic forest stages which saw the world’s best drivers thread their top-flight machinery through the rugged landscape throughout the Wales Rally GB era of the World Rally Championship, will also host the BRC’s final chapter of 2023 as the likes of Brenig, Elsi and Cloc Main will be familiar stages to fans and drivers alike.

The British Junior Rally Championship will be decided in North Wales on October 28 and will feature a two-way fight between two Irish drivers, Kyle White (County Down) and Kyle McBride (County Donegal).

Raftery is keen to get experience on the former World Rally Championship stages and to see how her much-improved pace stacks up against the two title contenders.

Raftery has been plying her trade in the FIA Junior European Rally Championship this season but has been competing closer to home since her continental campaign drew to a close in August.

On her last Welsh outing, the all-tarmac Rali Bae Ceredigion – also a round of the British Rally Championship – in September she finished third in class in her Broderick Motorsport-prepared Ford Fiesta R2.

In Wales she will field the same uprated Rally 4 version that she used in Laois last weekend.

“I am looking forward to making a return to the Welsh gravel. It is where it all started for me and now to compete in the Ford Fiesta Rally4,” said Raftery

“We are looking to have a good run and compare the pace with the other lads in our class. It is a great event with some really good stages, I cannot wait for it.”

RX 150 Rallycross debut

Her third event in as many weeks will be marked by her Rallycross and circuit racing debut.

The 22-year-old will contest the final round of the British Rallycross Championship at Lydden Hill in Kent in the RX 150 category on November 4 and 5.

She will step into the TSL-backed single-specification RX150 machine just days after competing in the Cambrian Rally and the latest event in Raftery’s busy schedule.

She will add a new string to her bow while posing a threat to both the regular RX150 contenders and other new drivers to the category.

This is the final weekend for the Motorsport UK British Rallycross Championship 5 Nations Trophy support category, which includes a heat race taking place after dark under floodlights on Saturday evening, as she also makes her competitive rallycross and rear-wheel-drive debut.

The RX150 Rallycross Championship delivers some of the fastest and most competitive racing in the 5 Nations BRX package, the single-seater, single-specification RX150 machines weighing 430 kilograms, powered by a 200bhp 1000cc motorcycle engines, driven through the rear wheels by six-speed sequential gearboxes.
