I’ll have a report looking at the experience of the Irish emigrants who made their lives in North America coming up on RTE Radio 1’s This Week programme today between 1 and 2pm …..with a strong Galway connection of course!

Wonderful post Mid West Radio RIP Charlie Bird

A sad day in the newsroom. Charlie was the best at getting a story -- and telling a story. May he rest in peace.

I think half of Ireland stayed up to watch this moment. Perfection #oscars

Sally-Ann Barrett Eoin Madden 🌱 I think you might find that some some parties are nationally saying 'yes' but locally are saying 'no' and turning up at the count might give the game away.

Senior count centre staff member tells me that Galway East referendum results for 40th Amendment which have been submitted to Referendum Results HQ cannot be announced here in Headford until all constituencies have returned their results for the 39th Amendment. The wait continues

Getting close to a result. Returning Officer Derry Buckley phones in results to HQ ahead of expected official announcement here in Galway East count centre #Referendum
