The rationale and need for light rail in #Galway is glaringly obvious to most people... @kleyden7 @fromgalway @Delboysmate @Galwaycommuter @GalwayCycling
Popped in for a pint on the way home to celebrate the life of the great man #ShaneMacGowan and a lovely shine in a prime position at the bar in the Ol'55 on Prospect Hill in #Galway
The Pogues represented the sounds of the 1980s London-Irish, and I remember feeling a new sense of cultural pride and confidence despite 'the troubles'... a once in a generation songwriter whose lyrics transended the music industry... Rest peacefully Shane, and God speed!

Questions need to asked, why the IDA design their business parks without full transport access. Been asking questions at City Council level for years. Perhaps I should have also asked the IDA? It is my view that Gluas LRT should pass through both sides of Parkmore on into town!

7min walk to the bus stop from Parkmore East(should have bus terminus in the #IDA estates. Not the worst for Parkmore. Bus trip into City Centre always takes me double over the bike ( which is sadly only for the brave or foolish up around Parkmore, very hostile environment )

"Parkmore East Business and Technology Park is located, just six kilometres from Galway city centre, with excellent accessibility..."
...that's solved then!
