Sunday sees the 120th final of a remarkable sport. It is interesting to look back and see who won what when and by how much.

It is that time of year already: school is out, life guards are on duty, the city is filled with dusty D-reg jeeps collecting Irish College escapees, and the Galway International Arts Festival begins in earnest next week when the whole town seems enchanted.

The Galway International Arts Festival has unveiled a menu of around 20 public talks and debates in association with the University of Galway.

The 2024 Galway International Arts Festival will include seven world premiers, a new visual arts commission, the most extensive music line-up to date, and new theatre co-produced with partners Landmark Productions and Once Off Productions.
