December 1, 2020

Galway City Council has agreed on a budget of €102.5 million for the city for the year of 2021, an increase of €2.8 million expenditure on this year.

The budget, which was adopted at the annual meeting of the city council on Monday, does not include any increases in commercial rates, Local Property Tax or increases in charges for services.

Among the items included in the budget are a subsidy to ensure that Leisureland will remain open throughout 2021, and €400,000 in arts grants,

In housing, it is estimated that a total of 320 new social houses will be built and delivered in 2021.

Funding has been provided for the installation of 3,100 – 3,200 LED bulbs in public lights around the city, and to start ‘greening the fleet’ of city owned vehicles.

“I want to thank my colleagues in the coalition for their efforts in recent days to ensure a fair and balanced budget was delivered,” Mayor of Galway City Mike Cubbard said.

“No doubt some will pick holes in the budget, but I was happy to support the proposal put forward by the ‘pact’, which received the support of our group of 10 plus two other Councillors with a vote of 12 for and 6 against.”

Chief Executive of Galway City Council, Brendan McGrath commented “This year has been the most challenging of years on record due to the impact of COVID-19 and the major economic uncertainty it has caused is likely to continue into the year ahead.

“The Council has been prudent in managing its finances and provision has been made over the last number of years to build up some reserves, which will see the utilisation of these funds in 2021 to deliver a number of beneficial projects and initiatives for the city.”

Galway United have signed 24-year-old Gary Boylan after a year playing Gaelic football with Belmullet.

The defender came through Sligo Rovers’ academy system and spent five seasons at the Showgrounds, making over 100 appearances in the Premier Division.

The Mayo man went on to sign for John Caulfield at Cork City, but a knee injury prevented him from making as many appearances as he would have liked.

Speaking to www.galwayunitedfc.ie, Gary Boylan said that he has been keeping a close eye on Galway United’s progress since John Caulfield took over.

“I’ve worked with him previously at Cork City and I know he’s a serial winner, there’s no doubt in my mind, he’ll bring success to the club in the future,” he said.

“It’s a big club, I’ve played here before, there’s a really good fan base in Galway and it’s a nice place to play. John brings a huge intensity to training and games and that’s something I want to be a part of.

“I know the ambitions John has for the club and where he wants to bring it, so hopefully next year we can bring success to the club.”

Galway United have been busy extending contracts and making signings which include Mikie Rowe and David Hurley.

Hurley moved to Eamonn Deacy Park after making over 80 appearances for Cobh Ramblers in the past four seasons.

The midfielder said he was ‘really looking forward’ to playing under manager John Caulfield.

Galway daily sport Moycullen GAA cancels all activities in response to COVID-19 cases

Many believe that Gaelic football is only played in the Emerald Isle, but this could not be further from the truth. As a matter of fact, people have been playing Gaelic football in London for more than a century now.

Below we are going to take a look at some of the best Gaelic football teams in London. So, if you are a Gaelic football fan and you are after a team to support or maybe even play for, we recommend you try one of the following.

Betting on Gaelic Football

Before we go on to discuss the best Gaelic football teams in London, we would just like to take a moment to talk about betting on this sport as it is something the Irish love to do.

Gaelic is an exciting sport to begin with, but once you add a bet to a match such as the team to win or the player that will score first, the excitement increases tenfold.

There are many betting sites out there that will allow you to bet on this sport, but they have not all be created equally.

By visiting sports betting comparison sites such as https://www.betinireland.ie/ you will receive up to date news on which operators are offering the best odds for upcoming Gaelic football matches.

Fulham Irish

Please do not read a lot into their name because Fulham Irish actually also have a hurling team that practice and play at Earlfield, a women’s football team that practice and play at Clapham Common, and a men’s football team that practice and play near Hammersmith.

Mike Rice, John Doyle, and Liam Barry, all men from Ireland, created this Gaelic club in 2006, beginning with two men’s teams. This number had doubled by 2013, with a lady’s team as well.

Dulwich Harps

This team can be located in Peckham, and they have female and male teams of different age groups that participate in the London County Board League. They have a record of doing pretty well in tournaments and fighting it out for titles at a junior level.

The majority of Gaelic football teams in England’s capital are located in the North-West, so if you live somewhere in the south of London, this is probably the team that is closest to you.

Since they have teams for different age groups, they are perfect if you happen to have young children who want to start playing Gaelic football.

Cu Chulainns

This club has been around for close to nine decades, which actually makes them one of the old Gaelic clubs in London.

They first started off as a hurling club, but a couple of years later they formed two Gaelic football teams and the rest, as they say, is history.

This prestigious club has attracted players from all across Ireland as well as many Londoners. Some of them have even gone on to join the London GAA.

Eire Og GAA

Eire Og, which means Young Ireland in Gaelic, is a Gaelic football club that can be located in Haringey, North London. This club has their own pitch, a great clubhouse for after match drinks, and attracts players from across London.

This great club is actually run by a number of volunteers and is a symbol of Irish culture for the large local Irish community. Eire Og came into being when Irish immigrants started playing Gaelic casually at Finsbury Park. Their matches are now played at Downhills Park.

Garyowen GFC

This Gaelic football club came into being back in 1937, but it was only active for a couple of years before it was forced to shut down due to World War 2. It opened its doors again 9 years later and has been active ever since.

They currently have a team that plays in the top Gaelic football league in Ireland. They have been London Senior Football Champions five times, with their last win being back in 1998.

So, if you consider yourself to be a very good Gaelic football player, you might want to consider having some trials with them. They are always on the lookout for some new talent to join their team.

Harlesden Harps

This club has been around since 1990 and they are situated at the Stronebridge Recreation Ground that is located in Hillside.

When the club first came into being, they participated at London’s intermediate level and became Intermediate Champions back in 2005. The club was formed by Joe Lynch, George McDermott, Mick Smith, Frank Bannon, and Liam Coyle.

Holloway Gaels

Two student nurses founded this club back in 1993. It is safe to say that they are the best women’s Gaelic football team in London, and they have been in affiliation with Eire Og (see above) since 2011.

In 2009, they entered the Senior ranks, and they were London and British Provincial Junior Champions in 2012 and London Intermediate Champions in 2014.

North London Shamrocks

This is one of the best Gaelic football clubs in London. When you compare them with other clubs in the capital, no club comes close to the training facilities that they provide their players with.

The hold all their training sessions just a stone’s throw away from the train station in Wood Green. If you want to play Gaelic at a very high standard, then this is the team that you should be looking to become a part of.

Parnells GFC

This club was created in 1951 and it quickly went on to become an established Gaelic club in London. As well as Gaelic, they also have hurling teams for men, women, and children. At the time of writing, this club has about 500 members.

They are a club that is known for nurturing and developing young talent, so if you have children that are interested in playing Gaelic football or hurling, you will definitely be doing them a big favour by enrolling them at Parnells GFC.

Funding for new toilet with greater disability access in Salthill

Galway Daily news Funding for new toilets with greater disability access in Salthill

The inclusion of funding in the city council’s budget for a new toilet facility in Salthill which designed with greater accessibility for people with a disability has been welcomed.

The city council budget for 2021 adopted on Monday includes €50,000 for a Changing Places facility in Salthill, which will make the seafront easier for people with a disability to utilise.

A Changing Places facility is larger than a standard accessible toilet in that it provides 12 sq. metres of floor space and additional equipment such as a full coverage ceiling tract hoist and a height adjustable adult size changing bench.

Councillor Clodagh Higgins first proposed the addition of such a facility in October of 2019, and a motion on the matter that December received the unanimous support the council.

“There are thirteen Changing Places facilities in Ireland, and eight of these are located in Dublin, and I found it really difficult to comprehend why no Changing Places facility was available in Galway.”

“However, this position has changed as a result of my council colleagues buying into my vision and I am enormously grateful to them for this,” Councillor Higgins said.

The cost of proving this facility is approximately €50,000, of which €40,000 was agreed by the governing pact at the city council, Cllr Higgins said, while she used her full allocation of €10,000 to make up the total.

This cost does not include any ongoing maintenance costs. Cllr Higgins said that she will be requesting a meeting with Minister of State with responsibility for Disabilities, Anne Rabbitte to ensure any shortfall is made up.

“This is a game changer for people with complex needs. It will improve their quality of life and make everyday tasks that bit easier,” Councillor Higgins said.

How to Find Success in a Creative Field

December 1, 2020

If one of your greatest goals in life is to achieve a career in an artistic or creative field, you’ll probably have come across more than a few warnings from friends, family, teachers and even total strangers on the internet. So many people are chased away from a creative career after being told one too many times that they’ll never make much money, or that it’s far too competitive. While these are the risks that artists and creators face, there is no reason to abandon your dream as a result. In this article, we’ll look at a few ways in which you can prepare yourself as effectively as possible for a creative career.

Explore

Curiosity and an enquiring mind are two of the most valuable tools an artist can have. Not only can investigating the work of the leaders in your field help you to hone and develop your own craft, but exploring other disciplines – from architecture to fine art to theatre to dance – can provide you with a diverse range of influences and inspirations that will help your work stay fresh and exciting. Exploring is also a great way of uncovering opportunities. Various venues, galleries, initiatives and communities put on regular competitions or seek applicants for commissions throughout the year – and any one of these could be your big break. Keep actively exploring and investigating and eventually you’ll end up where you need to be – even if it isn’t the destination you originally envisaged.

Study

While a lot of art and creativity relies on natural talent and vision, studying can open innumerable doors for a practitioner. Learning the theory of your craft can help you to develop a deeper understanding of it – and, in perhaps a more practical sense, you might just make some exciting connections. Your fellow students – and especially your tutors – will provide vital links to the industry. You may end up working in partnership with some of these people, or they may point you towards resources you didn’t even know existed. It’s always possible to invest in yourself by taking out a student loan with a private lender in order to pay for a creative college or university course.

Find Your Niche

Take the time to develop an approach that is unique to you. Think about what is important to you and consider how you wish to represent that. Don’t be afraid of asking for criticism and take on board any suggestions made by others. You can reject them if you want, but they are still a valid part of your journey. Eventually, you’ll have a clear brand that is recognizable and truly represents you.

Market Yourself

No one will hire you, commission you or buy your stuff if they don’t know who you are. Social media is a wonderful tool for artists, as there are plenty of opportunities to share visual representations of your work, to gain followers and to invite those followers to events – such as launches, performances and exhibitions. Even better, most of the resources available are free. It’s also a great idea to go to events of this kind. The act of turning up to view the work of others in your industry offers a number of benefits: you get to scope out the competition (in the friendliest manner possible), meet the big movers and shakers in your field and gradually become recognizable to them.

Galway Daily news People in Galway urged to know their healthcare options for Bank Holiday

Public Health doctors will strike for three days in January after a vote by doctors in favour of industrial action, it has been confirmed.

On Thursday 14 January, a one-day strike will be held by Specialists in Public Health Medicine and SpRs in Public Health Medicine.

The following week, on Thursday 21 and Friday 22 January, a two-day strike will be held.

The confirmation comes after a meeting by the Public Health Committee of the IMO today to consider the vote by Public Health doctors in favour of industrial action.

Dr. Ina Kelly, Chair of the Public Health Committee of the IMO, said: “As a doctor who has committed my career to public health and the improvement of health outcomes for the population I am deeply distressed that it has come to this.

“It really is time for Government to step up to the plate and recognise their own ethical obligations and to honour agreements”.

Currently regardless of qualifications, no public health specialist is recognised as a consultant despite meeting the same criteria as all other consultants appointed in the health service.

The Committee decided to serve notice of Industrial Action on the HSE and the Department of Health saying that if there is no resolution to the issue the following action will commence.

Irish scientist says life could go back to normal by late spring

An Irish scientist working on a coronavirus vaccine has predicted life could go back to normal by late spring.

Dublin scientist Professor Adrian Hill’s hopeful comments come as the government plans to roll out a Covid-19 vaccine for 1 million people in the coming months.

Professor Hill is head of the Jenner Institute in Oxford where the latest Covid-19 vaccine was developed.

Although many are hesitant about taking a new vaccine, the Irish professor believes more people will be willing to take a vaccine once one is available.

Speaking to Miriam O’Callaghan on RTÉ Radio One, Prof Hill said: The truth is, it’s a very safe vaccine that can be manufactured at a scale that no other vaccine is trying to reach, and it is impressively effective.

“So we’re looking forward to getting on with this and making it available as soon as we can. We’ll see something approaching normality hopefully by late spring or early summer.”

But just over half of Irish people say they would be interested in getting the vaccine once it is available, according to an Irish Pharmacy Union survey.

The Government’s Covid-19 vaccination task force met today for the second time, as Minister for Health Stephen Donnelly said a vaccination programme could happen early next year.

The task force will give the government a full national vaccination strategy and implementation plan by 11 December.

NUIG Students’ Union’s annual SHAG Week to begin tomorrow

By

November 30, 2020

A series of online events will be hosted by NUIG Students’ Union to mark their annual Sexual Health Awareness and Guidance (SHAG) Week which starts tomorrow.

The events will look at key issues impacting on the Sexual Health and Wellbeing of students including Consent, Image Based Sexual Abuse, Victim Blaming, Period Poverty and STI Awareness.

The workshop on Image Based Sexual Abuse will explore what “revenge porn” is, why we need to rename it, legislation, and how we can support victims emotionally and practically.

This is an issue that is on the rise in Ireland and the Students’ Union believes efforts must be made to make sure people understand that this act can have very damaging consequences.

Active* Consent workshops will provide a safe space to explore the nuances of sexual consent and how best to negotiate active sexual consent.

These workshops give young people engaging and up-to-date information and skills that are practical and relevant for their own relationships.

“We have some great workshops and events coming up this week for SHAG Week,” said Róisín Nic Lochlainn, Students’ Union Vice President/Welfare and Equality Officer.

“Students’ Unions and Universities need to take a strong lead in ending the culture of victim blaming as sexual violence and harassment are still prevalent issues in today’s world. Consent is Ongoing, Mutual and Freely Given – this is the core message of the NUIG Smart Consent courses.”

Students’ Union President Pádraic Toomey added:“We hope that our SHAG week events will encourage our students to take a responsible attitude to sexual health and healthy relationships.

“We still have a long way to go in Irish society in terms of breaking down the taboo of talking about sex. We want our students to be educated about their sexual safety.”

Concerns raised about those facing homelessness this Christmas

galway daily homelessness simon community christmas song

Concerns have been raised about the stress and mental strain facing those in emergency accommodation in the West in the run up to Christmas.

New figures released on Friday show the number of people without a home decreased by 14 people in October, but Galway Simon Community has stressed that there are still far too many people trapped in emergency accommodation.

The local organisation say that Covid-19 is ‘exacerbating’ the situation for those who facing homelessness.

In October, there were 368 people including 50 families with 116 children recorded as living in emergency accommodation in the West of Ireland.

“It is very welcome to see a decline in the number of people in emergency accommodation in the West,” said Karen Golden, CEO of Galway Simon Community.

“However, there are still far too many individuals and families who have to endure the trauma of homelessness especially as we approach the Christmas period which can be very emotional and difficult for people experiencing homelessness.”

Karen added that there are so many others not included in these figures who are living in hidden homelessness or are rough sleeping.

“At Galway Simon Community, we are seeing increases in demand across most of our Homelessness Prevention Services compared to the same period last year and this is very much a reflection of the impact that Covid-19 has had on our community.”

The charity explained they are doing everything they can to support people facing homelessness in the run-up to Christmas.

“Our frontline staff at Galway Simon Community are working hard to support as many people as possible to secure a home as well as preventing people from being pushed into homelessness at this time of year,” she added.

“We’re also doing everything we can to keep people safe from Covid-19 and to minimise the stress and anxiety that homelessness and isolation can cause”, Karen explained.

“Despite the incredibly difficult challenges this year has posed for many people in our community, so much positive work has been done across the board to prevent people from homelessness and from having to enter emergency accommodation.

“We must redouble our collective efforts to ensure this is a top priority. Now more than ever, it is essential that people have somewhere to call home to ensure their safety and wellbeing.”
