Clifden Arts Highlights – Coming Home to Clifden

Clifden Arts Festival

The longest running community arts festival in Ireland, Clifden Community Arts Weeks, now in its 41st year will take place from September 12-23rd 2018.

The Clifden Arts Festival yet again promises to have something to excite everyone in this years programme.

Audiences can expect a very high quality artistic programme with a superb literary musical and visual art content which again will have the community arts of Clifden and the surrounding hinterland as a central focus with creative writing, music, theatre, graphic design and film workshops and performances taking place in the local schools for the duration of the festival.

The theme of this year’s Clifden Arts Festival (September 12th – 23rd) will explore the concept of “home” as well as showcasing Ireland’s diverse and artistic culture through compelling events which promise to enchant and educate people of all ages.

Brendan Flynn, Festival Director explained,

“The physical place of birth holds a special place within us, while for others it isn’t physical but rather the feelings, the emotion, the character, the people and the culture, that shape it and make it.

“We hope to capture that feeling and explore a sense of home and how it is unique for each of us.”

The line-up at this years Clifden Arts Festival is very strong with a handful of names that would have headlined at much larger events over the years.

This festival in the heart of Connemara had humble beginnings when it was conceived 41 years ago by a small community committee who wanted to give local artists a public platform and provide a small programme of cultural events.

It has of course gone from strength to strength and has indeed made its mark on the annual calendar of festivals around the country with over 11,000 expected to attend the various events.

A mixture of traditional, classical and C&W as well as contemporary music is on the menu among the 200 events over the twelve day festival which will take place in a number of venues and around Clifden.

Among those events are poetry and prose readings, art exhibitions, book launches, theatre and talks.

The RTE Concert Orchestra and RTE’s Contempo Quartet both make the journey to Clifden this year. Other big names in Irish music performing at the festival are Aslan, Máirtin O’ Connor, Maighread Ní Dhomnaill, Martin Hayes, Bill Whelan, Lisa Hannigan, Declan Nerney, Frankie Gavin and Fiachra O’ Regan, Seán Keane, Charlie McGettigan, Andy Irvine, Donal Lunny and Paddy Glackin to mention a few.

Aosdana members, Paul Durcan and Rita Ann Higgins will give poetry readings and new novelist, E.M Reapy, a Mayo native, whose novel Red Dirt is set in Australia, gives a reading alongside Sligo born Galway based, Michael Gorman.

There’s a one man play, ‘Padraig Potts’ by Séamus O’ Rourke and there’s a play about Constance Markievicz written by journalist Mary Kenny and performed by Jeananne Crowley.

If you want to hit a funny bone, fresh from his tour at the Edinburgh Fringe, award winning comedian Danny O’ Brien brings his ‘Lock In’ show to Clifden.

The visual arts programme will showcase a major exhibition by Irish artist Brian Maguire. The exhibition brings together Maguire’s latest body of work from his visit to Syria in 2017.

The Aleppo Paintings document the ruined buildings of the city, offering a visceral and stark insight into the physical consequences of war and the international arms trade that fuels all conflict. Maguire’s approach has led him into settings usually regarded as remote from the rarefied domain of the art world, the result of which is an emotionally evocative exhibition.

Highlights of the visual arts programme also include exhibitions from internationally renowned Mick O’Dea, the current President of the Royal Hibernian Academy (RHA), as well a spectacular collection from the acclaimed Connemara based Dorothy Cross.

There’s loads to do and see for family entertainment, like Fidget Feet’s spectacular acrobatics, free activities and workshops. Fidget Feet are a pint-sized aerial circus company from Ireland. They tell stories from anywhere they can think of; from cranes, forests, or swinging from buildings. In recent years the Festival Finale has established itself as one of the must-see events.

The festival kicks off on September 12 and continues daily until September 23.

Galway News - Events - Connemara Pony Festival

The 95th Annual Connemara Pony Festival kicks off in Clifden today with a full programme of competitions and activities.

Running from Tuesday (today) until Sunday August 19, the festival draws visitors from across Ireland and the world each year to celebrate our native Connemara Pony.

This year will harness the best of Connemara ponies to compete in in-hand, ridden, working hunter and loose jumping competitions, highlighting the versatility of this popular breed.

Although the origins of the ponies are unknown, legend has it that when the Spanish Armada ran aground in 1588 the Andalusian horses bred with the Irish ponies, resulting in a more refined stock.

Wherever they come from, the Connemara pony is now bred worldwide and is renowned for its athleticism, versatility, and good disposition.

The festival starts on Tuesday morning with an organised bus tour to visit Connemara pony studs in Connemara – taking in some breathtaking scenery along the way.

Breeders from all over the world will have the chance to mingle at the International reception hosted by Abbeyglen Castle Hotel this evening.

The three-day competitive events show starts on Wednesday with the return of the popular International Connemara Performance Hunter class.

Also on Wednesday will be the final of the Irish Green Hunter, Three Year Old Loose Jumping and Four Year Old Performance Mare Championship – all carrying generous prize funds.

The next day competitions start at 8am sharp with 19 in-hand classes and 10 ridden classes.

Other attractions include the Annual Dog show – which has eight breed classes, six novelty classes and Best in Show – as well as domestic arts, Irish dancing, face painting, trade stands, best dressed competitions and more.

Special guests Alana Cazabon and Carn Verdon Boy will provide a dressage demonstration riding.

After a long day of activity for both competitors and spectators, the Station House Hotel Clifden will be hosting a Show Dance with live music from 10pm.

The end of the competitions includes five Working Hunter classes and the Clifden High Performance Final on Friday, which boasts a prize fund of €3000.

The last of the competitive events is the exciting Puissance Wall – the current Puissance record in Clifden is 1.63m.

All the winners from across the festival will gather in the showgrounds after the Puissance for the prestigious Parade of Champions.

This traditional lap of honour around Clifden will be cheered on by locals and visitors alike.

On Saturday and Sunday the town will host the annual Connemara Pony market to buy and sell animals.

It promises to be another unbridled success!

Galway Daily news Food on the Edge 2018

The theme for this year’s Food on the Edge symposium of Irish and international chefs was revealed as ‘Conversations’ at the event’s launch on Monday evening.

At the launch Director of the symposium JP McMahon described the theme as: “conversations amongst peers, amongst mentors and their mentees, conversations about challenges and opportunities and of course, the conversations that take place over the dinner table.”

One panel conversation will feature five Irish chefs who are based out London, namely Niall Davidson of Nuala restaurant, Marguerite Keogh of The Five Fields, Kevin Burke of The Ninth and Aidan McGee of Corrigan’s Mayfair.

They’ll be talking about the experiences of Irish chefs abroad, how they view Irish food, and what will come next in their careers.

The launch was hosted by chef Andy McFadden at his restaurant Glover’s Alley in Dublin, and he’ll be returning to speak at Food on the Edge in October where he’ll be in conversation with his former mentor, Neven Maguire of of MacNean House and restaurant.

Every year world class chefs, many from Michelin star restaurants, descend on Galway for a mixture of talk, panel discussions, and masterclasses at Food on the Edge where they can meet their peers from around the world and learn new ideas and techniques.

Some more UK based chefs taking part are Sat Bains of two Michelin star Restaurant Sat Bains in Nottingham; London-based Finnish chef Helena Puolakkaof Nordic-influenced Aster restaurant; and Skye Gyngell of Spring Restaurant at Somerset House in London.

Speakers coming from further afield are Latin American chef Leonor Espinosa of Restaurant Leo in Bogota, Colombia; Carri Thurman & Sharon Roufa , owners of Two Sisters Bakery in Homer, Alaska; Lauren Singer, the New York City-based, zero-waste devotee behind the Trash Is For Tossers project; and Joshna Maharaj, a chef and activist from Toronto.

Returning panelists are Ana Roš of Hiša Franko in Slovenia, Netflix Chef’s Table star and 2016’s Best Female Chef in The World; Emma Bengtsson of Aquavit in New York City; Matt Orlando of Amass in Copenhagen; and Sasu Laukkonen of Ora restaurant in Helsinki.

Giving a reason for coming back in this year, Ana Roš said, “Food On The Edge is the most inspiring event I have ever attended.”

The main themes up for discussion at Food on the Edge 2018 are: Conversations, Food Education, Food Waste, and Action and Reaction.

The 2018 Food on the Edge symposium will take place over two days on October 22 – 23 at NUI Galway’s Bailey Allen Hall.

Early bird tickets are available up to August 31 for €300 giving access to all talks plus lunches and the end of symposium wrap party.

Galway county has the second highest amount of roads in Ireland

By

Galway county alone accounts for 6.8% of Ireland’s road network with 6,706km of roads, the second largest amount of any local authority.

The only one with more roads than Galway county is Cork county which has 12,362km of roads.

Ireland has a far higher road density than most countries in Europe. There are 20.9km of road in Ireland for every 1000 people, more than twice the EU average of 9.6km and higher than significantly geographically larger countries like Germany which only has 2.8km.

These figure come from the Transport Trends 2018 report produced by the Department of Transport, Tourism, which Sport provides an overview of transport by land, sea, and air.

It covers people’s personal transport, in cars, bikes, and on public transport, as well as freight coming into Irish port and airports, and moving on the roads.

Commuting to work

According to the report Galway city also has among the shortest work commutes in Ireland along with Donegal, Sligo, and Cork city, averaging 22 minutes.

The national average length was 28 minutes in 2016 according to census data, while commuters living in counties bordering Dublin had even longer journeys.

People living in Meath and Wicklow spend an average of 35 minutes getting to work, 34 minutes if you live in Kildare.

The number of people walking to work has fallen steadily over time as car ownership climbed.

In 1986 more than 15% of people walked to work every day according to the report, but in 2016 that was down to just 9%.

Cycling bottomed out in 2016 when just 2% of people commuted by bike, but in the years since it has risen slightly to 3%

A public bike scheme was introduced in Galway city in 2014 and has grown massively in usage since then, the report claims.

Last year 23,758 journeys were made using public bikes in Galway city, 75% higher than in 2015.

Among the cities with public bikes schemes, Galway was the only one that saw its usage go up last year.

Cork was down 3.2%, Limerick dropped 1.2%, and while Dublin still has far, far more people using its bike system with over 4 million trips last year, that’s still 6% less than in 2016.

Despite this drop, the number of people cycling to work has grown overall by 43% to 56,837.

Road safety

Road deaths are at an all time low with 157 fatalities on Irish roads last year, the least since records began.

That’s 29 less than in 2016, and down 60% from 396 in 2005.

But while the number of motorists and pedestrians killed on the road fell, cyclists experienced a 40% increase in road fatalities.

The were 14 cyclists killed on the road in 2017, up from 10 the year before and an average of nine a year in the decade prior.

Students urged to use caution before signing a lease on accommodation

Galway Daily news students urged to be cautious booking accommodation

NUI Galway’s Students’ Union is urging people to exercise caution before committing to renting private accommodation.

With the first round of CAO offers coming out next Monday, thousands of students of students will be looking for a place to live in Galway.

But the SU is urging students to use caution before signing a lease, and to make sure the property fits your needs.

SU President Megan O’Reilly said: “Finding accommodation can be extremely stressful and people tend to rush into it. Never rush into getting accommodation, be cautious and insist on receipts and any repairs where necessary.

“This will be where you stay for at least nine months so make sure you have all the necessities before making any commitments.”

The SU has put together some tips for students renting a private property including making sure the gas, electricity, and all appliances are in good working order.

Take photos of the property and furniture before you move in, making sure to highlight any pre-existing damage.

Make sure that you and your landlord/lady have a clear agreement ahead of time on the length of your stay, and what bills you and your housemates are liable for.

If any repairs are needed to the property, get a written guarantee from the landlord or agency responsible that it will be addressed before you hand over a deposit.

And make sure that you get a signed receipt for that deposit.

“It is paramount that you follow these guidelines and ensure that the house you live in will be sustainable for you and your friends,” said Megan Reilly.

Galway has been going through a serious housing crisis that’s affected student housing as much as anyone else.

This year there have been cases of students continuing to rent through the summer, whether they were staying in Galway or not, to ensure they’d have a room come September.

More disturbing is Galway East TD Anne Rabbitte’s assertion that as many as 50 students could be left homeless come September.

Deputy Rabbitte has said that she knows of 22 students who were sleeping rough in Eyre square at the start of last year because they had nowhere to live.

She warned that the problem will likely be even worse this year with student housing filling up very early in the summer.

There are several major student housing developments in Galway going before An Bord Pleanála including a 394 bed development at the site of the Westwood hotel, and a 471 bed project on NUIG’s campus in Dangan.

However none of those will be completed in time to help with the immediate housing crisis, leaving many students to seek accommodation in the private rental sector.

The NUIG SU provides an online listings for apartment, houses, and digs available to incoming students at www.nuigstudentpad.ie.

Bright young minds designing a generator that uses the bad weather

Galway Daily weather Weather warning for heavy rain and possible flooding now in effect

Young people with imagination and inventiveness are working to climate proof Galway by designing generators that take advantage of the bad weather.

Galway 2020’s flagship project ‘Hope it Rains’ is holding a five day day workshop at NUI Galway this week to design a Weatherbot, a microgenerator powered by renewable energy sources like wind or water.

It’s hoped that using those generators to power useful tools and services will help people get out and active, no matter the weather.

The ‘Weatherbots Inventor Workshop’ is bringing 25 young people aged 14 – 19 together with a team of engineers and artists at the NUIG’s O’Donoghue Centre.

Dr. Ríonach Ní Néill, Artistic Director of Hope it Rains said they want to change people’s perception of Galway’s admittedly bad weather.

“Hope It Rains wants to change our relationship with Galway’s weather, so that, by 2020, Galway will be the place to come to because it rains and blows.”

The young people taking part in the workshop will brainstorm what services could be powered outdoors in bad weather.

Learn about generating renewable energy from wind and water, and all the good stuff that comes from a typical Galway afternoon.

And over the course of the five days they’ll develop their ideas from a concept through to a completed design, ready for fabrication.

“We aim to make Galway’s people and places more weather and climate resilient. We want to make our weather a source of creativity and communality, to get Galwegians out in it, enjoying it, loving it – no matter what the forecast,” said Dr. Ní Néill.

Aside from Dr. Ní Néill, other professional who will be assisting the group are artists Tony Fegan, Gavin Morgan, Andrew Siddall, engineers Dr James Lee, and Dr Maeve Duffy, and students from NUIG’s Engineering Department.

The group will meet up again in September to see their completed Weatherbot at its installation and launch.

The Galway Rose is today hitting the road to Tralee as she wishes the Galway Hurlers all the best for Sunday, in the All Ireland Hurling Final.

Galway are set to take on Limerick in the All Ireland Hurling Final this coming Sunday in Croke Park and while Deirdre will be enjoying her journey in Tralee she will be hoping that the Galway Hurlers can retain the Liam McCarthy Cup for another year.

The International Rose of Tralee Festival is set to begin this Friday the 17th of August and will continue until Tuesday the 21st of August.

Deirdre O’ Sullivan, the 2018 Galway Rose is today making her journey on the road to Tralee.

The 24 year old from Corrandulla was chosen as the Galway Rose on the 19th of May with Croí, (a charity located in Galway working to prevent heart disease and stroke), being her sponsor on the night.

Deirdre spent all her summers when younger in Tralee as her Grandparents lived in Denny Street and she always felt the Festival was the highlight of the summer.

Already this year Deirdre has accomplished so much as the Galway Rose, she spent a fortnight volunteering in Ghana, and she has attended many events throughout Galway.

Deirdre attended the Galway Races, just over a week ago with many of the other Roses attending the Races on Ladies Day.

Deirdre will have plenty of support with her on the road to Tralee and whilst in the Dome also. The under-13 football team of Caherlistrane will be travelling to Tralee on the 18th of August to compete in the Rose of Tralee International Festival Cup Blitz.

Monday the 20th of August and Tuesday 21st are the nights the Roses will be live on television.

We hope Deirdre enjoys her journey and everything on the trip from start to finish. Best of luck Deirdre.

Galway Daily news €2 million being invested in upgrading antiquated city sewer network

Galway has been voted the fifth friendliest city in the world by readers of the Conde Nast Traveler.

People noted that when they come to Galway locals “Instantly make you feel welcomed”.

The iconic travel magazine said that anyone who passes through Galway finds themselves, “sticking close to the cobblestoned streets and ancient architecture for at least a day or two,” even if they hadn’t meant to.

Tourists are advised to spend their days getting an eyefull of Galway’s historic sights like the Spanish Arch and the Claddagh.

While “nights are reserved for sipping Guinness with the friendly crowds.”

Also noted was Galway’s proximity to Connemara and the Aran Islands, world renowned destinations for international tourists visiting Ireland.

Ireland lived up to its reputation for hospitality this year, staking three spots in the top ten of the Conde Nast Traveler’s Reader’s Choice Awards.

Cork was voted the third friendliest city in the world, an “intimate” city where you can sit in a pub or beer garden and “enjoy the outdoors while sharing a table with friendly locals.”

And Dublin claimed 8th place with a bustling nightlife, leisurely strolls through St. Stephen’s Green, and plenty of pubs where tourists and locals swap life stories.

The friendliest city in the world according to the 2018 survey was San Miguel de Allende in Mexico, retaining its number one spot from last year.

This old Spanish colonial town was admired for its great shopping, a fantastic collection of restaurants, and a vibrant musical community.

Hundreds of Thousands of readers of the Conde Nast Traveler took part in this year’s survey that asked readers what made them feel welcome in a city. Was it easy to navigate? Were the local friendly?

Ireland has always had a reputation for welcoming visitors to our shores, and the recurring thing that everyone says about Galway and other Irish cities is how they were met with open arms and a bit of craic.

Céad Míle Fáilte.

 

 

Salthill beach is the only litter free beach in Ireland

Galway Daily news met eireann high temperature warning

Salthill beach is the only one in Ireland deemed clean according to a new survey of Irish beaches, rivers, and harbours.

However the Shannon at Portumna was found to be “heavily littered”, while Loughrea and the River Corrib have both been described as “moderately littered”.

The survey said that Salthill beach was “notable for a virtual absence of litter” not just on the beach, but along the promenade, as well as changing and parking areas.

This year, Salthill beach won dual Blue and Green Flag awards for the cleanliness of its coastline and water.

The survey, commission by the Irish Businesses Against Litter and conducted by An Taisce, found that only 8% of beaches, rivers, and harbours in Ireland are clean.

IBAL had conducted litter surveys of Irish towns for several years now, but this is the first time that they have measured the cleanliness of waterways.

The Irish Times reports that out of 50 areas surveyed by An Taisce, only four were found to meet European standards of cleanliness.

That’s in comparison with the last survey of cities and towns which declared that 75% of them were litter free.

Tourist image

IBAL warns that if this level of littering along scenic spots and tourists destinations is not addressed, it could undermine the success of the Wild Atlantic Way, regarded as the most successful tourist campaign ever conducted by Ireland.

Spokesperson for IBAL Conor Horgan said: “We know the success of the Wild Atlantic Way is placing strains on infrastructure of various kinds,”

“Litter is a likely consequence of this and local authorities need to ensure the appeal of the way is sustained.”

The most common types of litter found during the survey were plastic bottles, can, cigarette butts, and sweet wrappers.

The goal of this new campaign taken on by the environmental group is to bring more attention to the condition of coasts and waterways that are so central to Ireland’s tourist image.

Mr. Horgan said that if someone drops litter anywhere, the likelihood of it finding its way to the water is high, “We are a small island and often subject to wet and windy weather.

“When someone casually drops a plastic bottle or cigarette butt on the street, the likelihood of it being blown into a local river or swept into a drain to then enter the sea is very high.”

The worst litter blackspots found by An Taisce were Dolin Pier in Clare and Cork Harbour, where assessors noted wood pallets, plastic containers, and buildup of large pieces of plastic around Blackrock Castle in Cork Harbour.

This is not just a commercial and image threat to Ireland Mr. Horgan said, but and environmental one: “Aside from this commercial motivation, our research brings into focus the broader issue of marine litter and the need to stem the vast amounts of plastic and other litter which entering and killing our oceans.”
