Galway has always been a city of stories—tales whispered through stone walls, sung across the bay, and told beside fire and pub counter. But few told them as lovingly and thoroughly as Peadar O’Dowd. Historian, teacher, author, environmentalist, tour guide, columnist, and tireless ambassador for Galway’s past, Peadar passed away on January 4, 2024, leaving behind a city immeasurably richer for his life’s work and immeasurably poorer in his absence.

Peadar O’Dowd’s credentials for writing about Galway were impeccable. One of four children, Nono, Willie, Martin and Peadar, born to their parents John and Bridget, he grew up in Bohermore and was always grateful for the fact. He lived his life there and throughout that life would celebrate the area and its people in hundreds of articles and interviews he published in various newspapers and journals.
