We had our grad/debs in that place, or so I’m told.
Them lads own half of Galway…
Nama FFG begged them to come in and buy up everything on their books for a song and they duly did. They were/are involved in vulture funds and made a lot of promises none of which have been kept. Their is a serious growing unease about them not that they’d be aware from their private yachts in Monaco
At the end of the day they are just a pair of plasterers from Glenamaddy who gambled and got rich.
Something in the water down there… Glan gave us the Grehans, The Ganleys and the Comers.
I’ve done a little work on and off for them down throughout the years and always found them good to deal with and never an issue…they also sponsor our local gaa team…
I would love to see something done with that hotel too tbh but I suppose it’s their property
I’m in Corofin. Very squelchy underfoot but the new lakes you’ve had installed are lovely to look at.
The Glenamaddy plasterer spiel is wearing thin. They are property magnates out to make a quick buck and have half the lawmakers of Galway and beyond in their pocket.

Watching them make some balls of the 1983 All Ireland Football Final here at the moment, with a two man numerical advantage.
Spanish Arch, Irelands biggest beergarden
Has Columbus been toppled yet?
I remember “kaylahans” getting a quarter barrel off the the main Sunday paper of the time secret pub spy (which was quite a thing).
The rating was supposed to range from one to five barrels.
There was much gnashing of teeth and general disgruntlement amongst the adults and general hilarity at the school.
I can still remember the toilets being described as the filthiest they had ever visited.
At the time, it vied with mass for the main/ only social outlet, and was a leviathan of the wide community network.
Watching women in toilet gave man thrill, court told
Ann Healy
A man who told a garda that he gets a thrill watching women going to the toilet left a woman feeling “humiliated and degraded” after she caught him spying on her in a bathroom in a Galway hotel, Galway District Court has heard.
Vincent Moran (59), of Riveroaks, Claregalway, pleaded guilty this week to intentionally engaging in offensive conduct of a sexual nature in a public place at the Ardilaun Hotel, Salthill on February 16th, 2019.
The court heard this was Moran’s second appearance before the court for a similar offence. He was previously given the benefit the Probation Act for spying on a woman using a toilet in a retail outlet in 2005.
The victim of the 2019 offence broke down as she recounted the incident to Judge Marie Keane. “I’ve been left feeling humiliated and degraded by what happened to me,” she said.
Cubicle
She said she was attending a wedding and went into a cubicle in the women’s toilet at around 11.30pm. She noticed a hole in the wall adjoining the next cubicle and put some toilet paper into it. However, it then popped out and she could see an eye staring back at her through the hole.
The woman left the cubicle and saw a pair of men’s shoes when she looked under the door of the other cubicle. She left and told her partner what had happened. The court heard Moran left the toilet and got into a taxi outside the hotel, but the woman’s partner took a photograph of him before he departed.
Sgt Kieran Duignan said Moran was tracked down and admitted going into women’s bathroom “for the thrill of watching women going to the toilet”.
Brian Gilmartin, Moran’s solicitor, told the woman his client wanted to apologise. He said a psychological report suggested there are “risk factors present to place my client in the medium to high risk category for further offending”.
Judge Keane said this was the second time Moran had been apprehended for such an offence. Imposing a four-month sentence, Judge Keane said she had a duty to protect the public. Leave to appeal the sentence was granted on Moran’s own surety of €100 and an independent surety of €200.
As far as ‘embarrassing stories to make it into the local paper’ go that rates fairly highly.

A one eyed monster
I was on a Slattery’s coach to London in June 88. It stopped at the bus station in Waterford City on the way to Rosslare. The same thing happened to me in the toilet at the station. I couldn’t believe it when looked through the hole and seen an eye blinking at me. I exited pronto but waited outside to see who this was. It was some 60 odd year old misfortunate simpleton psychiatric case. I called him a filthy cunt and he bowed his head and fled. A greasy bastard I’ll never forget.
Can someone please tell me how long @anon7035031 has been banned for?
