Galway Bay fm newsroom – Construction on a new childcare facility in Caltra, Ballinasloe is expected to begin shortly.
The Caltra Community Playgroup currently operates a morning pre-school service in a HSE-owned building which has been deemed as no longer fit for purpose.
Following a government allocation of almost 200 thousand euro, the facility will now be moved to a new purpose-built pre-school near the existing Caltra Community Centre.
The facility is one of ten projects nationwide that have been selected to benefit from a new tranche of funding for early years services.
A total of almost 400 thousand euro will be shared by around 140 childcare and montessori facilities across the city and county.
Galway Senator Michael Mullins says the group will now be able to expand its services and offer care for children with disabilities.

Descendants of those buried in a children’s burial ground near Tuam are expected to arrive there in large numbers on Sunday . . . as Mass will be celebrated near the site.

Locals say that there are hundreds of babies buried there since the 1840s – and particularly during the Famine years – as a plaque will be unveiled this coming Saturday afternoon in their memory.

It will be an emotional occasion for many families who will be in attendance to remember some of their relatives who were buried in Gardenfield children’s burial ground.

On Saturday afternoon the plaque that will be unveiled will contain the names of more than a dozen babies who were buried there. These are the names that locals know of.

A plaque has been erected close to the graveyard on property owned by local resident Tom McHugh who said that he was privileged to accommodate such a memorial.

According to another local resident, Michael Morris, the property in the area was part of the Kirwan Estate who happened to be catholic land owners who provided a children’s burial ground on an elevated site.

It is understood that the children’s burial ground was provided in the late 1840s on lands which are located close to the old local primary school.

The burial ground was used for children who died before being baptised or were stillborn. Indeed, it is known that some baptised children were buried there and this was done because their families could not afford the cost of a grave at the time.

It is known that the last babies buried there were in the late 1940s and there are still plenty of their relations still living in the Tuam area who will be in attendance at the plaque unveiling.

Michael Morris recalls that there was a reunion at the old Gardenfield National School back in 1998 which was attended by relatives of former pupils “from all over the world”.

He said that one of the big issues that was discussed at the time was the children’s burial ground and that Noel Mullins from Ballytrasna, Gardenfield – now resident in the States – wanted it marked with a plaque. He then gave a commitment to sponsor its erection.

Noel is currently on holidays in Tuam and will be at the unveiling of the plaque. Mass will be celebrated by Fr. Sean Flynn of Tuam Cathedral. It is expected that hundreds will attend the event.

The organisers of the Galway Hospice Memorial Walk – which takes place next month – are hoping to attract the largest crowd yet for the fundraiser, to mark its 10th year.

The event has already raised more than €1.4 million since its inception in 2006.

Last year, more than 4,000 people took part, which was in excess of expectations for what is Galway Hospice’s biggest annual fundraising event.

This year, the 6.5km walk from the Claddagh Hall to Blackrock and back will take place on Sunday, September 13 from noon.

Fundraising Manager Michael Craig said: “It has become a very special and deeply personal event for the people of Galway.  It is hoped that, as this is the tenth year of the walk, people will come out in huge numbers to walk in memory of their loved ones.”

He added that over the past twelve months, demand for Hospice services have continued to increase.

“Since last year’s walk, demand for Hospice services has continued to increase. To meet this need, additional specialist nurses have been appointed to the Home Care team, and work is imminent on the construction of six additional single in-patient rooms at the Hospice in Renmore.

“Without the generosity of the people of Galway, none of these developments would have been possible.

“We expect the six additional in-patient rooms to be operational in just a few months time. The ongoing work on the new entrance to the Hospice from the main Dublin Road, together with additional parking spaces, will make it much easier for patients and the public to access the Hospice, and find convenient parking,” said Mr Craig.

Mary Nash, the new CEO of the Hospice said that watching the sea of white t-shirt during the walk is “emotional and uplifting”.

“It is also an opportunity for people, through their sponsorship, to help ensure the ongoing free availability of Hospice care for those who need the services in to the future,” she said.

The organisers also warned people to be on the lookout for bogus collectors.

“Where there is fundraising there is also opportunity for theft. Sadly, in recent years a number of bogus collectors have been going door-to-door claiming to be collecting for the Hospice.

“We urge the public to be vigilant and to only subscribe to someone they know. The Hospice discourages people from sponsoring anyone they do not know, through messages printed on Hospice sponsorship cards.”

Participants in the Memorial Walk do so in remembrance of a deceased family member, friend or work colleague, with many participants wearing the name of their loved one on personalised t-shirts, provided by the Hospice.

Those wishing to take part must register in advance. The closing date for participants requiring personalised t-shirts is Friday, August 28.

To register, visit galwayhospice.ie or contact the Hospice on 091 770868.

The contractors building the Gort-to-Tuam motorway have refuted suggestions that they are not employing workers from the local area.

In fact, they said that there were almost 350 workers from the region employed in the €550 million project and a lot of local businesses were benefiting as a result.

It was claimed at a meeting of the Athenry-Oranmore Municipal Council that there were very few local workers employed in the scheme which commenced around the middle of January.

Several councillors referred to very few Galway people being employed in the motorway project which is expected to be completed by early 2018. When completed there will be a continuous motorway connecting Tuam with Limerick city.

But a spokesman for Direct Route, the consortium appointed to build the motorway denied that this was the case. In fact, he said that there were a lot of workers from the region employed in the project.

“I can’t comment on where their information is coming from. The fact of the matter is that the majority of workers on the site are from the region and more than 330 were employed at the end of June,” the spokesman added.

However, members of Athenry-Oranmore Municipal Council are furious claiming that those constructing the motorway are employing agency workers and there were very few of them from County Galway.

It was suggested that a clause should have been put into the contract insisting that local workers be prioritised when it came to recruiting.

The matter was raised by Cllr. Jim Cuddy who said that it was “an absolute scandal” that there were very few Galway workers on the project.

He said that a scheme that should be worth so much to the local economy had let available Galway based workers down. He described it as unacceptable.

“This is a huge project, but the fact that there are so few local workers employed by the consortium is an absolute scandal and this situation should have been addressed at the outset,” Cllr. Cuddy added.

Other councillors were in full agreement with the sentiments including the Chairperson, Cllr. Martina Kinane, who also expressed frustration at the lack of Galway workers on the 57 kilometre motorway scheme.

The efforts of an 85 year old man to develop a vegetable polytunnel have been destroyed by vandals.

The poly tunnel was erected and nurtured as part of the Tuam Men’s Shed project. Frank Hession was the driving force behind the initiative.

He is said to be very disappointed over the fact that the polytunnel has been destroyed by vandals. It was located on the Dublin Road on the grounds of the old St. Patrick’s College.

It was used for the growing of tomatoes and other vegetables but now the polythene cover has got to be replaced and at no small cost to those involved in the Men’s Shed initiative.

Derek Cassidy was one of the founders of the Men’s Shed in Tuam and he said that it was a mean act and one that had infuriated the 20-plus members.

He said that whoever was responsible for the damage punched holes in the fabric and kicked the structure in. He said that it could not be repaired.

Frank Hession is one of the original members of the Tuam Men’s Shed and one of the most enthusiastic. He played golf for years at Tuam Golf Club and was delighted when the concept of a Men’s Shed was developed in the town.

The establishment of the polytunnel was one of Frank’s initiatives and was used to provide education to primary school children locally with regard to the growing of vegetables.

Derek Cassidy said that ripping of the polytunnel was very hard for Frank Hession to take, having been behind its establishment.

“We are having a meeting about what happened and, hopefully, we will be in a position to get a replacement. We can’t do much about what happened, but hopefully there are parents of young people who are embarrassed by what happened.

“It is understood that there was a group of young people in the immediate area of the scene prior to it being vandalised. They should be ashamed of themselves,” Derek Cassidy added.

Tuam Men’s Shed was established more than two years ago and has between 20 to 30 regular members. One of their biggest projects was transforming the old wooden ‘gallows’ into various products which were much sought after.

The gallows was a wooden watch tower over Temple Jarlath Cemetery at High Street in Tuam. It was the subject of much criticism before it was finally dismantled.

Galway Bay Fm newsroom- There is growing concern in Connemara about the poor quality of the mobile phone network in the area over the past few months.
Dr Michael Casey of Carna has now said that slippage in mobile phone quality is a matter of concern in medical circles.
The difficulties range from sporadic lack of coverage, breakdowns during calls and poor quality reception. The 087 network is the most commonly used in Connemara.
Now Dr Michael Casey of Carna has called for immediate action to restore the quality of the mobile phone service. Dr Casey says that many calls to doctors nowadays come through mobile phones; some people no longer use landlines in their houses. The poor service on the mobiles is creating difficulties for patients and the doctor alike in west Connemara and this, he said, can be a matter of much concern, medically.
Local Councillor Joe Folan has also raised the mobile phones issue and has asked Galway County Council to intervene.

Plans to convert a derelict city filling station into a restaurant have been lodged with Galway City Council.

PJ Canny, who owns the former Corrib Service Station on Lower Fairhill Road, has sought permission for a change of use of the former garage and filling station to a sit-down restaurant with a new façade onto Lower Fairhill Road and Fr Griffin Road, as well as six velux windows.

The plans also include the construction of a first floor over part of the ground floor for an office, staff room and storage space.

“The existing building has been vacant for many years and is in a poor visual state. The proposed development would be in the interest of urban regeneration and urban design and would assist with the revitalisation of this part of the city centre.

“The garage is the only undeveloped site on the Raven/Griffin/Fairhill triangle, whilst also holding the most prominent position on the triangle due to its dual exposure.

“Externally, the proposed development will consist of cosmetic and aesthetic improvements to the existing building. Internally, the works will consist of an internal fit-out only and no excavation works are proposed.

“The proposed development will give the derelict site a new vibrant use, with an attractive façade treatment which will complement the existing urban fabric of the urban island.

“It will also maintain and build on the critical mass of the city to strengthen economic growth and competitiveness as outlined in the City Development Plan,” the application reads.

The proposed opening hours are 8am to 10pm, seven days a week, and there will be no amplified music.

It is also proposed to incorporate spray foam insulation and an acoustic board under the roof.

According to the applicants, a tenant and the precise nature of the food offering has not yet been identified.

As An Bórd Pleanála continues to deliberate over the proposal to transform Galway Harbour, the Taoiseach has been asked to intervene to ensure the project gets European funding.

The Planning Appeals Board is due to announce its decision on whether to give the go-ahead for the multi-million euro redevelopment of the city harbour, but is unable to provide a date for the decision, which has already been pushed back several times.

The oral hearing into the proposed extension of the harbour was held in the city in January and a decision was due in April or May.

However, in May the appeals board confirmed that the decision date has been pushed back by several weeks.

In a statement to the Galway City Tribune, An Bord Pleanála said it has been put back further.

The statement reads: “The decision has not been made and it could be a while yet”.

By the middle of this month, the board said it hopes to have a clear timeline of when the decision will be made

Meanwhile, Galway West TD, Éamon Ó Cuív, has called on Enda Kenny to ensure that Galway Harbour is included as a ‘Tier 2’ port of regional significance.

This status, said the Fianna Fáil TD, would ensure it gets adequate funding. He said that ports are currently being divided into Tier 1 ports of national significance (Dublin, Cork and Shannon Foynes), and Tier 2 (Waterford and Rosslare).

Deputy Ó Cuív wants the legislation to be amended so that Galway is included in Tier 2.

“It is worth noting that there will be no national port along the coastline from south of Limerick to Derry under the Government’s proposal and once again the west of Ireland is going to lose out. If this Bill goes ahead without amendment, it will make it more difficult for Galway Harbour Company to get funding for the major development proposed for Galway Harbour, that would facilitate substantial growth in business in the port, plus the development of a very significant cruise liner business in the port.”

Deputy Ó Cuív said it would be a ‘great pity’ if the harbour is “inhibited by the east coast attitude of the Government that it is refusing to recognise the potential of the west coast and the need for basic infrastructure there.

He added: “I am now calling on the Taoiseach as a Minister in the West of Ireland, to insist at Cabinet, that Galway would be classified as a Tier 2 port and therefore give it access to European funding for the development of the harbour in Galway and to ensure that major development, not only of the port, but of the city there.”

A man who is charged with selling bogus concert tickets and with committing several other unrelated offences around the city, has been remanded in custody to October.

Dublin native, John Tomkins (44), of no fixed abode, appeared before the holiday sitting of Galway District Court this week.

He is charged with inducing two women to lodge €200 and €210 respectively into his bank account on dates between January 28 and 30 last for tickets to AC/DC concerts which the women never received.

He is charged with handling the respective amounts of money, knowing they were stolen and with giving false and misleading information regarding the transactions to Garda Paul McNulty at Galway Garda Station on April 18 last.

Tomkins is also charged with damaging a car door at Lurgan Park, Murrough, on June 26 last, and with stealing a suitcase full of men’s clothing worth €300, CDs and a pair of men’s boots worth €40 from the car on the same date.

He is further charged with breaching the peace, by engaging in threatening, abusive and insulting words or behaviour in a public place in relation to the same incident He is also charged with damaging the walls and door of a holding cell at Galway Garda Station on June 26.

Tomkins is further charged with having a torch, latex gloves and two four-inch screws in his possession at a house on Renmore Road on February 14 last with the intention they be used in connection with theft/burglary.

When charged with this offence Tomkins had replied, “What screws? What gloves?”

He was also charged with breaching the peace at Renmore Road during the same incident.

He had replied “No comment. Not guilty you clown,” when that charge was put to him by a Garda.

Tomkins had refused to have the charges relating to the alleged burglary offence dealt with at District Court level on July 1 last and elected for trial instead in the Circuit Criminal Court on that date.

Inspector Kevin Gately told the court this week that a Book of Evidence in relation to that charge was not yet ready as the DPP had directed further investigations be carried out. He applied to have the matter adjourned to September for service of the Book on Tomkins then.

Defence solicitor, Gearoid Geraghty said his client had instructed him to object to the adjournment application and wanted the charge struck out (due to delay).

Judge John King noted from the court file that Tomkins was first charged with the offence on March 2 and the DPP had directed summary disposal (in the District Court) but then on July 1 last, Tomkins had elected for trial in the Circuit Court and on that basis, he said, he was not going to accede to his application to have the charge struck out.

He remanded the accused in custody to October 7 and granted an application made by Insp Gately to extend time for service of the Book of Evidence on that date. Tomkins objected to that application as well.

Mr Geraghty informed the court his client was in custody on all of the other charges as he had been unable to take up bail which had been granted to him by the High Court.

Judge King remanded Tomkins in custody on the remaining charges with consent to bail as set by the High Court to appear before the court again on October 7.

An investigation is underway following a complaint by a disabled driver who missed an important doctor’s appointment because a traffic warden’s van was parked in a disabled space.

The claims were made by the Galway pensioner in a letter of complaint to the City Council’s Chief Executive, Brendan McGrath.

The vulnerable 75-years-old with a disability, who has a disabled parking permit, complains that he couldn’t avail of two disabled parking spaces at Prospect Hill one day in July because of illegal parking.

One space was taken by an authorised vehicle with a permit, but the other was occupied by a traffic warden’s van, which caused him “upset and anger”.

However, the Council has said it is satisfied that the space in question has been “extinguised” as a disabled bay and is now used for the tourist train. A spokespersonsaid two new disabled spaces have been put in place “25 yards up the road”.

Photographs to support the pensioner’s claim were submitted to the Council.

A spokesperson said the complaint was only received by the Chief Executive on Thursday, and the Roads Department hadn’t yet assessed it.

He said it is “quite possible” that the disabled parking space has been extinguished and moved to another part of Prospect Hill.

But he said the complaint will be “fully investigated” and the Council would revert back to the complainant. The Council subsequently said the space had been extinguished and was no longer for disabled; but conceded blue paint markings were still on the road.

The disabled pensioner wrote: “I sought to park my vehicle on one of two disabled parking spaces at Prospect House, Prospect Hill, in order to attend an important doctor’s appointment. I found myself unable to do so, however, as both spaces were occupied – one by an authorised vehicle and one by the traffic warden’s van. I double-parked temporarily and circled the one-way system a number of times, waiting for one of the parking spaces to be vacated, but neither of them were. I missed the doctor’s appointment as a result.

“I dropped my passenger off to investigate whether the parking space could be vacated to make room for my vehicle but he was unable to locate the driver.”

The letter adds: “I rely on two things to ensure their availability when they are required: the common decency of fellow motorists, and the vigilance of traffic wardens to ensure that relevant laws are upheld. If those who are charged with enforcing parking laws don’t even obey them, what authority have they to impose them on others? Why should an ordinary motorist take instruction from such an official?

“And, who suffers at the end of the day? The vulnerable motorist who relies on traffic wardens to uphold parking laws in order to ensure the availability of accessible parking spaces.”
