James Hardiman, in his history of Galway lists the fuels available in Galway long ago as coal, turf and bog deal. Bog deal was mostly the roots of trees that had been grown over by the bog over the centuries. It was regarded as a nuisance by the turf cutter who likes nice clean lines as he used his sleán. The turf men usually threw this timber up on top of the bog. It gave out a lot of sparkle, like a mini firework, while it burned in the grate.

Galway hurling fans got an unexpected boost before a ball had even been thrown in last weekend. It was announced that their final National League group game against Limerick will now take place this coming Saturday afternoon in Pearse Stadium (throw-in is at 1.15pm). The footballers will also play in the Salthill grounds on the same day (throw-in is at 3.15pm).
