Galway is what it is because of the people who shape its character, those who dedicate their lives to making it an experience that so many wish to taste. At its heart is the iconic Hardiman, a hotel that has been an enduring symbol of hospitality, elegance, and tradition stretching back to the 19th century. And for the past 45 years, no one has embodied this spirit more than Margaret Glynn.

Roy Carroll was one of the best known characters of Galway City. As a resident musician in many city hotels in Eyre Square, he was forever the epitome of decorum, bedecked in his bow tie. He was known to many as the man on the scooter which he rode through the city while often carrying an open umbrella, Roy sadly passed away in early winter, but it would be remiss of the city to not pay tribute to this remarkable character with an even more remarkable back story. Because Roy Carroll was his stage name, not many knew that he was born Peter Salvatore Armonde Louis Volpe.
