Just a friendly reminder from your lad on the street that tomorrow is voting day and if you can do one thing this Friday, it’s to go out and vote.
If people want a lift to the polling station or need help getting there, just comment below and I’ll reach out but don’t forget to vote. (You know who not to vote for)
Thinking of starting a casual group for people interested in meeting others, going on day trips, trying new activities and coffee meetups.
As a lad out in Connemara who doesn’t drink, I don’t really have the opportunities to meet people so thought I’ll ask here
If that sounds like something you’d be interested in, drop a comment, cheers!
The Racism Cllr. Helen Ogbu is getting on social media is absolutely atrocious. It’s being covered up as criticism by the usual suspects. However, it seems to have become the norm and no one really questions it, if they do they brush it under the carpet saying it’s “American bots”.
So I’m asking all of you, is it criticism or can we say what it is which is Racism?
EDIT:
Example from just one post in the comments, there are over 200 comments on different posts since the campaign was announced. Solidarity is needed towards everyone facing this not just Helen. An explanation it’s bots and not “real” people is not believable.
We have seen betting apps, TG4, newspapers and even Facebook pages do opinion polls on the bye-election. It’s time r/galway has its own opinion poll on the bye-election as well.
Vote for the candidate you’d most like to see elected as the next TD for Galway West by ranking candidates in order of preference using the link above.
The poll uses the ranking system, so you can rank candidates 1, 2, 3, etc. Be sure to give preferences to all the candidates you’d be happy to support, as lower preferences can still matter during transfers.
Names of candidates are in alphabetical order to make sure preference is not given to any candidate.
As a person travelling frequently from Galway to Dublin, the lack of a food cart didn’t really bother me as I get on at Galway with shops nearby. However, I do understand it’s much more important on routes such as Dublin to Sligo or Dublin to Westport and for people who get on at stations with no shops nearby.
Is bringing back the food cart on all services important to you?
Making sure that the lifts are working in all the stations is the first thing that comes to mind for accessibility and especially as someone with mobility issues.
If you could change something at the train stations/Irish Rail or introduce something, what would it be?
