Fabulous news. It keeps the Salthill lads hemmed in.
That’s millions more noxious and global warming fumes in the air. I thought you were against that sort of thing?
It keeps the plebs out.
more roads = more cagers
I’ll get the gorse fire of working class defeat started so lads
I got that mate, however more roads = more cars though not fixing the problem of traffic in Galway & adding NXO, the billions that was due to be spent on this should be diverted to light rail to take cars off the road
I bow to your superior knowledge. I am not as well travelled as you.

Light rail 
I hear those things are awfully loud
One of the stalwarts of that era was Christy Sheanan and the Breakaways. Not sure if he always wore a white suit but this particular night he was. Christy stopped mid song and bid a hasty retreat to the mens. Part of his suit was turning a shade of brown.
As he made his way from the stage a murmur began as the reality of what was happening began to dawn on a few of the clientele. One particular lady made some remark to him. ‘I gambled and I lost’ was his response. You either have that star quality or you don’t.

They used to rock the New Inn Leisure Centre.
More '89/'90 if memory serves me.
The oul white suit was alright goin on stage but a different story coming off it. While working in a West Cork hotel in my youth I was on duty for a gala dinner where the late great JD was performing sporting a white tux. I met him before he went on stage and after. The white tux was a damp dull shade of ivory after his show.

But by God the Blue Rinse brigade had gotten their moneysworth.
The original ‘no show like a Joe show’.

And did he play up to them 
Fab voice, world class performer and knew where his money came from.
Twas defo 94 or 95 I saw them with the mobile.
Possibly yea, but I wouldn’t have been arrested for paedophilia if I was in New Inn at them in '94
How quiet the nightlife in the county is now compared to those days
