My mother is way way up in years. She grew up hearing from her great-grandmother about growing up in Castlebar. We know it was more specifically Gortbaun. Mom always wanted to go see where her Nan was from, but it just never worked out.

From Google maps it looks like a very small rural townland. They were farmers.

Is there anything else interesting I could share with my mom?

Gibbons and Costello families if anyone is interested.

The cover ups and deleting and gaslighting over that poor woman attacked by 2 men who needed Arabic interpreters in court by the mods is wtf.

Makes the cover ups of the catholic church abuses look the same.

Hi. I'm on holidays in Mayo and want to check out the Titanic memorial Park in Addergoole. I know there probably isn't much there, but what exactly is there? A few plaques, I saw online that the church has stained glass depicting some scenes from that night. Anything else? Thanks!

It was my first time getting on a bus since I got here and I didnt know how to travel back home. I opened the TFI Go app and booked the ticket and asked if I was correct she said "looks like it but incase the driver doesn't allow then I'll help u out" (this is my first time that offered so much kindness since i came here) after that we chatted for a while and there was bus in front but had a different number than the ticket but the number changed and when I saw it was leaving the stop and taking a u turn I asked her if that's the bus she said looks like it and we started running towards but eventually we both made it on the bus.

We hit 10,000 visitors this week so well done to everyone. I imagine Mayo's victory in the All Ireland Final had a lot to do with it.

Not a bad run considering where the sub was when I took it over.

I have been missing a few spam posts lately so if anyone wants to help out as a mod pm me.

I'll be also updating the post reporting options soon.

Thanks to everyone for visiting us.

Firstly, obligatory congrats on the football win, the football championship was great to watch this year. Unfortunately my beloved Tipp were shite, so i got to pay more attention to the football this year.

• Secondly, where would be a nice quiet / calm beach to bring my dog?

He has never been yet, so ideally it would be a chill area for him so he doesn't get too overstimulated. He loves water, (black lab) but as it's his first time I feel somewhere quieter would be better. (if possible)

• What would people recommend for walks? (dog friendly) Ye have a beautiful county so we would love to really see some of its best bits.

• Finally, any little gems ye would recommend? such as food spots or anything like that?

I will be doing my own research of course, but sometimes its good to have locals advice too

Thanks lads

I’m looking for my first car. On a very limited budget, and something family friendly is a must as I’ve a baby so need something to comfortably fit a car seat and pushchair in the boot. Everything seems out of my price range in the bigger garages and I don’t know any independent smaller dealers. Won’t be doing any crazy mileage either, just a runaround for now till I can get back to work, earn more and get a better car. Any recommendations on who to contact or look out for would be wonderful and very much appreciated.

Just to add: I have looked on done deal and although some look great to me, I’ve zero car knowledge and don’t know anyone who does and don’t want to end up with something I can’t afford to fix.
