Hauling in the catch on a storm-tossed, fish-filled, azure sea, from a Galway Hooker. Detail from the beautiful mosaic behind the altar of 'Our Lady of Galway', patron saint of #Galwaybay in the Church of 'St. Mary's on the Hill' #Claddagh #Galway #Ireland #wildatlanticway #fish

Spotted this "Old Man of the Forest" in Bearna woods yesterday. Looks like he's drooling Ivy 🤤 County Galway, Ireland. Cormacscoast.com walking tours

Looking towards Black Head, and the Aran Islands, across Lough Inch and Galway bay, from my sitting room window, beautiful and relaxing, yet, for some reason all I’m thinking of is ‘eggs, sunny side up’!! #Easter #eggs #Galway #Ireland

Free car wash in Galway this afternoon.. Storm Dave is in the way, so please do yourself a favour and try not to be on the road at 4pm! #StormDave #Galway #Ireland

After a lot of rain overnight, add some high winds .. the Cliffs of Moher this afternoon was in ethereal mode, mid squall. #cliffsofmoher #ireland Follow for more.

I was ‘blown away’ by this little fella’s enthusiasm at the @dexcom stadium aka the Sportsground, when @connachtrugby beat @ospreys 21-14 in a thrilling match yesterday. Our mascot @ConnachtEddie showed who the real Eagle was with a little help from a junior fan! #ConnachtRugby

Blessing to you on Palm Sunday (Domhnach an lúir) Parishioners leaving church on Sunday, Inis Meáin, Aran Islands, Co. Galway, Ireland, c.1974.

“Cast not a clout, ‘til May be out!” Old Irish proverb, basically advising folks in Ireland not to be fooled by a little of warm weather in April and May, and to keep wearing warm winter clothes until May is over. Well they never mentioned March in that ancient admonition! #Duh

Pale pastel sunset over #Blackrock #Salthill #Galway. The iconic yellow diving tower was built c.1951 by local firm, Stewart Construction, replacing a rather rickety c.1905 diving platform that was no longer 'sea-worthy'! @Stewart_Constru & @BlackrockSwim are still standing today

My good friend, and accordion maestro, Gerry Hanley will launch his new CD of Irish tunes in the Irish Centre in SanFrancisco on this Friday 20th March. T’would be mighty if he had a big audience. Retweets much appreciated. @SFCCM @IrishCentral @Comhaltas

God rest the powerhouse that was Dolores Keane

☀️Sunny weather finally returns, with today and tomorrow set to be the warmest days of the year so far, topping 17 degrees😎A perfect day to walk the #Salthill Prom, have a swim, hit the the beach or simply enjoy the beautiful views across #Galway bay. Photo; Pat Cantwell in 2023

On this day; 13th of March 1941, city of #Galway was saved from possible devastation by the bravery of #RAF pilot Edward ‘Teddy’ Dudley Dear and his crew. 2 men died, 2 others survived, but it could have been a lot worse. A heretofore untold story #OTD #OnThisDay #WWII #Eire

The indefatigable Ultan Macken in full flow, telling my group of history students from Michigan about his father, Walter Macken’s trilogy of books that have recently been reprinted and are available to buy at bookstores around Ireland. Oscar & Edward were suitably impressed!

Mist in the valley, moving in like a wave, sweeping down the steep slopes of the Maumturks. I think it might be a good time to seek shelter before it reaches us. A hand- and heart-warming hot whiskey in Keane’s pub in Maam might be just the tonic! #hillwalking #Connemara #Galway
