As the Penal Laws began to relax at the beginning of the 19th century and conditions became a little more lenient for Catholic religious orders, some of them began to think of a return to community life. The Dominican Nuns, whose community had flourished during Penal times, was now reduced to six. There was a lot of building going on in the area of their nunnery in Cross Street, and houses closed in their convent on all sides, making a life of strict enclosure very difficult. The sisters began to search for another house, more secluded, where they could follow their Rule, free from distraction.

Local woman Teresa had been overweight for as long as she could remember. She was ill as a child and as she recovered, she was fed lots to “build her up”. Her parents had a chip shop in Athlone, which didn’t help her weight problem.

Mayo left Croke Park on Sunday evening with far more questions than answers, as a 14 man Derry team ran at them and right through them, into the National Football League final in a fortnight's time. For the second time in the space of a few weeks, Mayo had a man advantage and a decent lead, but they were unable to see the game out and came up short in Croke Park. When Fergal Doherty was shown a second yellow card and ordered off the field for a late challenge on Aidan O'Shea in the build up to Mayo's goal 24 minutes in, it should have been the staging post for Mayo's march to victory. But, they never got moving as freely as expected and Derry ran out deserving winners.

When OLBC was founded in 1940, the Government provided no out of school education for young people. There was a great need for social and recreational facilities. Such activity was virtually non-existent in the working class areas of Bohermore, Shantalla, The Claddagh, and ‘The West’. The critical core of the club was (and is) its generic youth club which met (and still meets) several evenings a week. The primary aim in those days was to show the boys ways and means of securing their own destiny.

Connacht coach Pat Lam is calling on a new system to regulate referees in the RaboDirect Pro 12.  In the wake of Connacht’s 32-30 loss to the Scarlets last weekend in Parc Y Scarlets, Lam says all the referees from the four countries should be controlled by a single entity, similar to SANZAR in the Southern Hemisphere.

Galwegians claimed their second junior cup title in three years at the Sportsground on Sunday with a comprehensive 35-15 victory over Westport, adding to their Connacht Junior 1B League title.

Galwegians, having clinched promotion last week, sealed the division 2A title when overcoming Bective Rangers in Donnybrook.

Sixteen-year-old Emma from Athlone joined Slimming World in late July. It was annoying her that she was different to everyone else and was bigger than the other girls in school. However, she never did anything about it, always making excuses like “I’m under so much pressure now, I’ll start next summer”. Of course, when summer came around, there was some new excuse.

Galwegians have opened up a 12-point lead in the Ulster Bank League’s division 2A after a seven-try blitz over Naas in Crowley Park on Saturday.

Since 1997, Da Tang Noodle House on Middle Street had served the people of Galway with thousands of steamy bowls of comforting noodles, dumplings, and legendary spicy salad. But Da Tang hung on the shoulders of an individual and when the time came for him to retire, Da Tang retired also. Their sister business, Chi Asian Take-away, a little takeaway in Westside, took over the space in the middle of November. Chi promises healthy convenient food choices using locally sourced fresh ingredients. Chef Andy Bandara uses the highest-quality local produce to create Asian dishes from Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, China, and Vietnam. Known for good food, great flavours, and a mean nasi goreng, how does this takeaway translate into a sit-down restaurant?
