Galway Daily courts Man charged in connection

A man currently serving a seven year sentence did not have it extended after pleading guilty to a smash and grab theft from a car.

Richard McDonagh (35), pleaded guilty to criminal damage and theft charges at Galway District Court this week.

On June 25 of 2020, at around 1:30pm at St Brigid’s Place in Galway City, Gardaí responded to a report that a car had been broken into.

The driver side window of the car belonging to a Paddy Dunleavy had been smashed in, and items were stolen from the car.

Blood samples were taken from the broken window of the car, which were used to identify McDonagh as the one responsible.

A €60 bottle of Dior Sauvage aftershave and a notebook were taken from the car, and the damage done to the vehicle was valued at €190.

Mr McDonagh’s solicitor said that he was not in a position to offer any compensation, due to the lengthy prison sentence he is currently serving.

In December of 2021, he receive a seven year sentence at Galway Circuit Court for dangerous driving causing the death of Margaret Ward, a passenger in the car.

His solicitor Valerie Corcoran said this week that he had serious addiction issues, and is currently on a waiting list for counselling.

Judge Mary imposed two months for the criminal damage, and another month in prison for the theft.

Due to the lengthy prison sentence he is already serving, she made both of those concurrent to his current sentence.

Galway Daily sport Jack Carty claiming 200th cap for Connacht this weekend

Connacht have named their matchday 23 man squad for this weekend’s game against the Emirates Lions in Galway.

Connacht and the Lions will meet at the Sportsground this Saturday, with kick-off at 7:35pm, in the BKT United Rugby Championship.

Director of Rugby Andy Friend said that this will mark the end of a long block of games for Connacht, and they’re determined to go out on a high note.

“If we get the win we head into the next block well in the running for a playoff spot – while achieving our aim of reaching the Challenge Cup knockouts – so it’s not a bad spot to be in.

He added that, “We’re fully aware however that we need a win tomorrow to put ourselves in that position.”

Jack Carty is back in the Captain’s chair after missing last week’s game against Newcastle due to injury, and he’s chasing a record in the making.

Just six points in the game will see him equal Eric Elwood’s all-time scoring record of 1152 points for the province.

Scrum-half Caolin Blade is named alongside him while Cathal Forde and Tom Farrell are named at inside and outside-centre respectively.

Tiernan O’Halloran lines out at full back for his 215th Connacht appearance with John Porch and Diarmuid Kilgallen on the wings.

The pack sees the Murray brothers Darragh and Niall paired together in the second row, while props Peter Dooley and Jack Aungier come in alongside hooker Shane Delahunt.

Josh Murphy moves from the second row to blindside flanker, while Conor Oliver and Jarrad Butler are retained at 7 and 8.

Andy Friend acknowledged that the Lions are a “formidable outfit”, who have improved since debuting last year, and that there’s a challenge ahead for Connacht.

Planning refused for 71 social housing units in Galway City

By

January 27, 2023

Galway Daily news Planning appeal over 91 houses & apartments in Athenry

An Bord Pleanála has refused planning approval for a social housing development of 71 homes on the outskirts of the city.

The city council made an Appropriate Assessment planning application to the bord back in 2021 for the houses at Keeraun on the Ballymoneen Road.

The proposed housing was to consist of 4 one-bedroom units, 34 two-bedroom homes, 22 three-bedroom houses, 3 four-bedroom units, and 8 Traveller Appropriate Accommodation units.

Other works involved in the project were associated carparking and bicycle parking, green spaces & landscaping, connection to existing services and all ancillary/enabling site development works.

In refusing permission, An Bord Pleanála said that although the land was zoned residential, this development would “continue and extend the piecemeal development of the area”, without adequate infrastructure.

The decision said that the lack of safe pedestrian links, the distance to public transport, and lack of social and community facilities nearby would make it heavily car dependent.

The lack of alternative travel options meant that the development would be “contrary to national, regional, and local policy objectives on sustainable mobility”.

“The proposed development would therefore be contrary to the proper planning and sustainable development of the area”.

The substandard width and alignment of the local road, along with the increased traffic from the social housing, would also create a road safety hazard, the Bord said.

Galway Daily news €13 million upgrade to Athenry sewer network commencing in March

A €13 million upgrade to the sewer system in Athenry is due to get underway in March, to deal with untreated sewage going into the River Clarin.

The upgrades to the wastewater collection system in Athenry is meant to tack sewer flooding, deal with the discharge of non-compliant sewer overflows into the River Clarin.

It will also improve the capacity of the sewer network allowing for future population growth and economic development of Athenry and the surrounding area.

Speaking about the works, Eunan Canavan, Wastewater Regional Delivery Lead with Uisce Éireann, said,“Delivering this project for the community is an immense source of pride for Uisce Éireann and Galway County Council.”

“All new infrastructure has been sized to accommodate future population growth and the project will enhance the local environment and provide a platform for social and economic development well into the future”.

The project will involve decommissioning the existing combined sewer overflow at North Gate street in the town centre, and replacing the sewers from the Cuirt Ard/Caheroyan Road junction to the Caheroyan Pumping Station.

That pumping station is to be decommissioned and completely removed, and a new station will be built adjacent to Pairc na hAbhainn housing estate.

New sewers starting at North Gate will be laid to the new pumping station, as will a new sewer from the site of the decommissioned station, both of which will cross the River Clarin.

A rising main will go from the new pumping station to the Athenry Wastewater Treatment Plant.

Work on the project will get underway in March under Coffey Construction, and is expected to be completed by the end of 2024.

Another benefit of these works should be an improvement in the water quality of the River Clarin, protecting recreational waters for fishing and sightseeing, as well as protecting the integrity of the local environment.

Galway Daily news Corrib Oil workers in Ballinasloe going on strike

Workers at the Corrib Station in Ballinasloe will be going on another one-day strike tomorrow over an industrial dispute.

Mandate Trade Union has said that staff will take to the picket line from 6:30am to 10pm on Saturday, due to the alleged refusal of the company to allow them to be represented by the union.

John Carty, Mandate’s Western Divisional Organiser, said that Corrib Oil’s staff want their employer to recognise their union and agree to a procedural agreement to deal with any issues that might arise for them.

Mandate claims that Corrib Oil has not honoured an offer to engage with the union made before Christmas.

“The Corrib Oil staff in Ballinasloe joined Mandate and have asked us to engage with the company to put a procedural agreement in place so that any issues they have can be dealt with collectively and in an orderly fashion,” John Carty said.

“Unfortunately, since last August, Corrib Oil haven’t yet seriously engaged with Mandate, their staff’s chosen union, on putting such an agreement in place.”

He added that further strike action after tomorrow may be necessary if no resolution to their issues is found.

January 26, 2023

Local senator Aisling Dolan has said that actions must be taken to deal with the increase in mental health issues among young people in Ireland.

The Fine Gael senator was speaking as a report into mental health supports for schools was launched this week.

The report recommended the Youth Mental Health Pathfinder Project be implemented without delay.

“It will align key Government departments with responsibility for the health, wellbeing and education of our young people and will make navigating treatment and support mechanisms and programmes an easier process for parents and young people alike,” said Senator Dolan.

“A renewed spotlight has been shone on younger people’s mental health this week, which makes the timing of this report altogether more pertinent. It follows on from the Committee’s previous report on ‘Bullying’.”

Senator Dolan said this project is just one tranche in a series of measures needed to tackle the increase in mental health issues among young people.

Senator Dolan welcomed the €5 million in government funding for the Counselling in Primary Schools initiative and there is a recommendation in the report that this is expanded to secondary schools too.

“Changes have been made for more continuous assessment in some subjects at Leaving Certificate level and this needs to be broadened to more subject to reduce exam stress,” she said.

“For our universities, there is a recommendation to recruit, train and retain adequate numbers of mental health professionals.

“For young people in college, Minister Simon Harris has recently announced additional €5 million for student mental health supports at third level as well as an increase in the Student Assistanceship Fund.

“Togetherall is also a 24/7 online support with mental health professionals, which is now freely available to third level students in Ireland.”

The Minister invited the 46 groups to develop new and innovative strategies for their areas.

“I would encourage communities across the country to get involved in the development of the LEADER strategies to help ensure that LEADER can continue to deliver projects and initiatives that are directly linked to local needs and priorities,” she said.

galway daily news cope galway art installation

An art installation commissioned by COPE Galway is on the move across the county to locations where the local charity provides outreach one-to-one sessions to women.

The sculptural work, titled ‘We See You, We Hear You’, was commissioned by COPE Galway Domestic Abuse Service to mark its 40th anniversary

People will be able to view the installation between now and March in Loughrea, Athenry, Gort and Clifden, and more locations are expected to be added.

The installation is by Galway artist and ATU graduate Maura Finnegan, who was commissioned to create the piece in collaboration with women who have engaged with COPE Galway’s Domestic Abuse Service and members of its staff.

The artwork comprises seven display cases on plinths.

Six of the cases contain heads sculpted from plaster that depict different women, and each one has a QR code that connects to an audio recording of an anonymous COPE Galway service user telling the story of her real experience of domestic abuse in her own words.

A seventh box is left empty to represent women who have lost their lives due to domestic violence.

Speaking about the project, Training and Development Lead with COPE Galway Domestic Abuse Service, Jackie Carroll, said: “It’s always a privilege to work with survivors of domestic abuse and getting their input into this significant art project was hugely important.

“As we look back on 40 years of our domestic abuse service provision, I hope that the sculpture will raise awareness and I hope other women come forward and get the support needed.

“We know that significant numbers of women in every community experience domestic abuse. One in five women in Ireland will be abused by her partner at some stage in her life – and these women come from all walks of life.

“Abuse is not confined to any class, culture, creed or career. It takes many forms, including digital.

“By highlighting the issue within a public space, we are showing our support to those women and their children. By engaging with this art project, our communities are supporting us in saving lives.”

For more information about the COPE Galway Domestic Abuse Service ‘We See You, We Hear You’ art project, including the locations it is moving to and dates it will be on public view, see copegalway.ie/weseeyou and its social media channels.

The artwork will be returning to Galway city as part of COPE Galway’s activities for marking International Women’s Day on Wednesday, 8 March.

The ‘We See You, We Hear You’ art project was commissioned in partnership with the ATU Galway School of Design and Creative Arts Radius Project and it is supported by Medtronic.

A €217 million investment programme to develop the west and northwest of Ireland has been launched in Galway this week.

The six year programme under the Northern and Western Regional Assembly (NWRA) was launched at The Portershed in Galway on Wednesday.

Money from the programme will be spent on projects such as building the capacity of the new Atlantic Technological University to support regional research and innovation.

It will also go towards supporting regional industry with enhanced financial supports through TU Gateways (Enterprise Ireland), and helping regional enterprises to pursue further commercialisation of products and services.

Speaking at the launch, Director of the NWRA David Minton said that the funds for the programme would build on previous funding that has improved almost every aspect of life in the region.

“The €217 million investment in the Northern and Western Region from the European Regional Development Fund is a welcome one.”

“Partnerships with our EU colleagues have helped improve almost every aspect of life in our region over the past half-century. We have seen the ways in which we work, travel, and conduct business become more efficient.”

“We have also benefited from regulations that have ensured the sustained quality of our environment and reaped the rewards of a wider array of opportunities for learning and development.”

Mr. Minton said the regional programme submitted by the NWRA was a major investment in the region’s future.

The Assembly is advocating for a sustained policy focus on the border and west to ensure long-term sustainable progress and economic inclusion.

The Northern and Western Region’s economy was valued at €22.1 billion in 2019, equating to €24,926 per head of population, less than half of the state average.

Chairperson of the NWRA, Cllr David Collins said that the region is “acutely exposed”, and needs to make sure that this is not exacerbated by coming climate and biodiversity challenges.

Sample some heartwarming soup for the RNLI

After two years gone silent, the annual Sample our Soup fundraiser returns to the streets of Galway City this weekend for the local RNLI.

This heartwarming soup is prepared by Mark Hopkins, Head Chef at The Seafood Bar at Kirwans Lane to help the lifesaving work of the local lifeboat station.

Volunteers from the station will be on hand outside Taaffes Bar on Shop Street this Saturday, from 11am, serving soup to shoppers in one of their favourite events of the year.

This gives them an opportunity to meet people on the street, highlight the work done by lifeboat crews, and thank those they meet for their ongoing support.

Annette Cullen, Galway RNLI Volunteer Lifeboat Press Officer said, “Without volunteers like those in our fundraising team and our lifeboat crew who selflessly give of their own time, our lifeboat couldn’t function and continue to be rescue ready.”

“As a charity, we are reliant on the generosity of the public in supporting this work through fundraisers such as Sample Our Soup, so in advance of Saturday, we would like to say thank you.”

“Thanks too to our sponsors Kirwan’s Lane, Raftery’s Centra Claregalway and Cater Rent Ballybrit Industrial Estate for their continued support of this event.”
