Galway Daily news Closing out the Decade of Centenaries in Galway City

The Decade of Centenaries is coming to an end this year, and an exciting programme of cultural events will mark the occasion in Galway City.

The Decade of Centenaries programme was launched in 2012, to highlight the economic and social conditions of the period, the shifts in cultural norms, and the experience of the Irish abroad, as well as the massive events that ended in Irish Independence.

It also aims to offer fresh insights and constructive dialogue, and to foster deeper mutual understanding among people from the different traditions.

The City Council has been awarded €50,000 for putting on centenary events in 2023, and has approved a programme for the coming year after an application process in March.

Digitalisation of Fr Michael Griffin (1892-1920) Collection at Galway City Museum

Fr Michael Griffin is a very significant figure in the history of Galway and in Ireland’s struggle for independence. His killing in Galway in 1920 made headlines nationally and internationally at the time.

Galway City Museum has recently acquired very complete collection of objects associated with Fr Griffin including some of his clerical vestments, his personal effects such as his driving licence and grooming kit, correspondence with family and his library of books, most of which are signed by him.

The collection also includes an interesting series of telegrams dated during his disappearance and the aftermath when his body was discovered as many people offered condolences to the family.

The collection is interesting from a political point of view as it includes his Sinn Fein membership card and a Fáinne showing his dedication to the Irish language and culture. Also includes family memorabilia after his death and commemorations afterwards.

Working with an accredited conservationist, this collection will be conserved, catalogued, and photographed. The result will be published on Galway City Museum’s website.

Clean and seal Liam Mellows Statue

Liam Mellows is a significant figure in the history of Galway City for both the War of Independence and the Civil War.

He is commemorated locally with the renaming of Renmore Barracks, a housing estate, and the erection of a statue in 1957.

The location of this statue is one of prominence, and it is a traditional site used by a range of different groups that relate to the foundation of the Irish state.

Galway City Council will work to renovate the statue through a cleaning process that will remove algae, dirt, etc, from the statue and present this important commemorative statue to the people of Galway City, and the various groups who interact with the statue, at a high standard.

Plans for modern Treehouse for tourists overlooking Killary Fjord grounded

Plans for a luxury ‘habitable treehouse’ glamping development for tourist overlooking Killary Fjord have been rejected by county planners.

The treehouse was to be built on the grounds of Killary Adventure Centre, the owners of which made the planning application.

The treehouse would be built on poles planted into the ground, and be designed to accommodate four guests at a time.

“It is to be designed to be inhabited by guests looking for a luxury escape from normal life where the view of the fjords and mountains is a significant element,” an architect’s report for the application states.

The county council rejected the plans on multiple environmental and visual grounds. The council said that not enough information was submitted about the water supply or wastewater disposal.

The council said that this could have environmental impacts on multiple Special Areas of Conservation in the surrounding area.

The decision also said that not enough information on the design of the treehouse was submitted to show that it wouldn’t have a,”detrimental impact on the character of the landscape”.

Connemara National Park “infested” with invasive Rhododendron choking off plants

Connemara National Park has been “infested” by invasive Rhododendron which threatens native woodlands by choking new growth.

A report published by the Department of Housing, Local, Government, and Heritage declared that approximately a quarter of the park’s 2,000ha have been covered with invasive Rhododendron.

This is one of the “most problematic non-native invasive species” which currently threatens biodiversity in Ireland.

The report, published last week, was a Determination on Screening for Appropriate Assessment, which is related to proposals for clearing the Rhododendron from defined management areas within the park.

When Rhododendron has taken over an area, few native plants present before are able to survive, choking off light to new growth.

“In woodlands, only those trees which manage to grow above the level of the Rhododendron canopy will persist.”

“When such trees die, they cannot be replaced because seedlings cannot become established under the lightless canopy.”

“At this point, the Rhododendron completely dominates the area and stands accumulate into thick dense patches.”

The tissue of the plant is also unpalatable for most animals due to the presence of toxic chemicals, meaning it cannot be managed by grazing.

Larger flowers of Rhododendron can produce up to several million seeds a year, which can be spread up to 100m by wind, and remain viable in the ground for years.

The report, which proceeds the project, was to determine if there are likely to be an environmental impacts from the clearance works, which it said there would not.

University of Galway has secured two additional Athena SWAN Bronze Awards in recognition of the University’s commitment to advancing gender equality for staff and students.

The University’s School of Law and a joint award between the School of Computer Science and the Data Science Institute have received the accolade which acknowledges efforts to create cultural change within higher education institutions.

This latest accreditations mean there is now a total of ten Bronze Awards and one Silver Award in the University, along with an Institutional Bronze Award which was renewed in 2021.

Eleven out of the University’s 18 schools now hold Athena SWAN Awards.

The School of Biological and Chemical Sciences and the School of Natural Sciences were also successful in their application to transfer their Bronze Athena Swan Awards following the restructuring of their Schools.

University of Galway Vice-President for Equality, Diversity and Inclusion, Helen Maher, said she is delighted with the positive news of the successful Athena Swan Bronze applications.

“I very much appreciate the significant work undertaken by staff members to advance gender equality as evidenced by these new awards.

“In addition, I am mindful of the necessity of supporting and enabling leadership for equality at every level within our University, as a critical factor in transforming the gendered nature of inequality in higher education.”

Local TD calls for Long Covid to be recognised as occupational illness

Roscommon-Galway TD Denis Naughten has once again called for long Covid to be recognised as an occupational illness for frontline workers, allowing them to avail of paid leave.

The Independent TD also urged the Government to address the prolonged care requirements of those who are actively living with long Covid.

His call comes after new data was released this week which found that 10% of adults have experienced symptoms of long COVID following an initial period of infection with the virus.

The data is based on a survey carried out by leading polling company, Ireland Thinks, and was commissioned by Denis Naughten TD.

The study is one of the first surveys to provide data on the lifetime prevalence of long COVID symptoms in the Irish population and demonstrates the need to fully implement the HSE’s recommended ‘three pillar’ approach to long COVID, one that incorporates patient-led rehabilitation, generalist assessment and support as well as specialist assessment and rehabilitation.

“The poll demonstrates the gravity and scale of the issue and highlights the potential burden that could be placed on the national health system in the event that a significant number of patients are consistently presenting to hospitals with complex care requirements arising from long COVID,” said Deputy Naughten.

Minister should prioritise engagement with farmers on biodiversity report says Kerrane

galway daily news claire kerrane at dáil child maintenance

Roscommon-Galway TD Claire Kerrane has called on the Minister for Agriculture to engage with farmers following the publication of a Citizens’ Assembly report on biodiversity loss.

The report makes recommendations on biodiversity, many of which relate to agriculture, forestry, peatlands and other rural focuses.

Sinn Féin’s new spokesperson for agriculture said that it is essential to have a report from the Citizens’ Assembly on Biodiversity loss.

She said that it will be useful to have a set of recommendations brought before an Oireachtas Committee for further scrutiny.

“It is also crucial to ensure that farmers are part of the next steps following the report and its recommendations,” said Deputy Kerrane.

“Farmers are the custodians of the land and they, above anyone, have been the ones protecting it for generations. Their voices must be heard.”

The local TD said some of the recommendations in the report require greater scrutiny.

“I am concerned at the idea of the introduction of a levy on agricultural exports which, to me, is a further charge on farmers, many of whom are struggling with rising costs and in some cases are making little or no profit.

“Again, this points to an attitude of putting it on the farmer, rather than taking farmers along with us.

“Agriculture is a key driver of economic activity in rural communities especially, penalising farmers with additional levies has a knock-on effect well beyond the farm gate.”

“The recommendation to make all biodiversity incentives results-based also needs to be examined closely, some factors like weather are outside of a farmer’s control and can have an impact on results and therefore, income support.

“There are welcome recommendations in this report too, increased funding to support greater and more ambitious biodiversity targets, rewarding farmers for protecting and enhancing biodiversity, and subsidising and incentivising organic farming as an option for farmers.”

Uisce Éireann reminds Loughrea residents of boil water notice

Galway Daily news Kinvara Boil Water Notice

Uisce Éireann has reminded customers in some localised areas of Loughrea town that the Boil Water Notice remains in place.

The notice was issued to protect the health of approximately 650 customers upon detection of low chlorine residuals and elevated levels of iron and turbidity in the public water supply.

Dedicated crews are completing remedial works to resolve the issues which are predominately confined to areas served by cast iron pipework.

The BWN remains in place for customers in the following areas

Castle Street,
Church Street,
King Street,
Kelly Street,
Piggott Street,
Moore Street,
Dolphin Street,
Mount Carmel Crescent,
Athenry Road,
Liam Mellows Terrace,
Cross Street,
St. Brendans Day Care Centre,
Caheronaun (Junction of Caheronaun Road/Bride Street to Caheronaun Park),
Abbey Street to Old Cosmona via Gallows Hill).

Customers can check if their property is included by visiting the Water Quality section of water.ie and entering the property’s Eircode or by calling the Uisce Éireann’s customer care helpline, open 24/7, on 1800 278 278.

Uisce Éireann’s Eoin Hughes acknowledges the impact of this notice on the community and regrets the inconvenience to impacted customers.

“Public health is Uisce Éireann’s number one priority, and we are working closely with Galway County Council to restore drinking water quality for all impacted customers and to lift the Boil Water Notice as quickly as it is safe to do so, and in consultation with the HSE,” he said.

“Some of this pipework is constructed from cast iron and, depending on the area, can be up to 100 years old.

“Old cast iron mains typically suffer from sediment being dislodged during repair or maintenance works, causing temporary discolouration of the water or the water appearing brown before it reaches customers’ taps. Usually running the tap for several minutes will restore the clear colour.”

Galway researchers find plant identifier apps are not 100% accurate

Galway Daily news plant flower identification app

A new study by researchers in Galway has shown that some smartphone apps for identifying plants actually misidentify at least one in five species.

Researchers at University of Galway and University of Leeds found that apps should not be trusted to identify plants with 100% accuracy – a particularly important issue for toxic plants.

The team tested the ability of six common smartphone applications to identify 38 herbaceous plants native to Ireland. The highest performing app only had 80-88% accuracy.

The study also found that the apps showed considerable variation across plant species but they were better able to identify plants in photographs that included flowers than when photographs only included leaves.

The study was authored by Neil Campbell, who carried out the study while completing a Master’s degree at the University of Galway; Dr Karen Bacon, Lecturer in Plant Ecology at University of Galway; and Dr Julie Peacock, Associate Professor in Ecology at the University of Leeds.

It highlighted that, although apps can do a reasonably good job of identifying plants, they should not be considered to be providing 100% accurate identifications.

This is important for a variety of reasons, including when identifying toxic plants, identifying potentially problematic plants and in teaching.

Ballinasloe man Colm Reilly signs two year deal with Connacht

Ballinasloe man Colm Reilly will be extending his stay with Connacht Rugby by another two years.

Scrum-half Reilly was one of three contract extensions announced by Connacht today, along with South African Shayne Bolton, and New Zealander Dominic Robertson-McCoy.

Colm Reilly made his debut for Connacht in 2020, when he came off the bench against Edinburgh. Since then he has made 17 appearances for the province.

The Ballinasloe man has also made his mark on the international stage as part of the Grand Slam winning Ireland U20 squad of 2019.

Head Coach Pete Wilkins said, “Colm continues to improve with every season of professional rugby, so it’s great to keep him at the club for another two years.”

“Connacht has a rich history of producing top-quality scrum-halves and Colm fits the mould of the high tempo and instinctive players that have performed so well for us in that position.”

“He will continue to contribute to the positive style of rugby we endeavour to play, and will compete hard for the number 9 jersey over the coming seasons.”

Originally hailing from South Africa, Shayne Bolton joined Connacht in 2021, and has made five appearances playing in the centre and wing.

Coach Wilkins describes him as “lightning quick, explosive in contact” with the ability to change the flow of a game, despite bad luck with injuries this season.

Robertson-McCoy joined the province in June 2016 as an Irish-qualified tighthead, arriving from Northland in New Zealand.

Since then he has made 77 appearances, becoming one of the longest serving props in the squad.

“He provides important depth in the tighthead position along with Finlay, Jack and Sam, and has all the qualities you look for in a player in that position,” Wilkins said.

Bolton and Robertson-McCoy have both signed one year deals with Connacht.

Galway Daily news Green light for expansion of north Galway quarry

Planning permission has been granted for an expansion of a quarry in north Galway for the extraction of sand and gravel.

Finnegans Sands Limited have gotten the green light for an extension of their quarry to the southwest of Dunmore village.

The work will involve extending operations onto 2.7ha of land adjacent to the west side of the existing quarry

The planning application is for four years of operations, with an estimated 304,200 tonnes of sand and gravel to be removed each year.

The development will also involve upgrading 112m of the existing access track, and creating 63m of new road to facilitate the operations.

The developer also intends to create a 20m passing bay along a section of the local road the quarry is accessed from, to allow large vehicles to pass each other safely.

One submission was received from the Department of Housing, Local Government, and Heritage, which noted that the site is in the vicinity of a recorded Ringfort.

A Natura Impact Statement, Archaeological Impact Assessment Survey, and Road Safety Assessment were submitted as part of this planning application.

Planning permission was granted by Galway County Council with 14 conditions attached.

One condition of the planning permission is that it shall expire at the same time as the substitute consent for the parent quarry, in October 2026.

The council also stipulated that a suitably qualified Archaeologist must be employed to monitor all the works on the ground, and ensure a 40m buffer zone around the ringfort.

A special contribution of €35,000 is also required to be paid to the county council towards the maintenance of the proposed passing bay.
