The late Hugh Duffy, of the famous fishing and shooting shop at Mainguard Street, Galway, will be sorely missed by his sporting friends from all over Ireland and from Europe. It was not the biggest shop in Galway but it was made infinitely smaller throughout the summer as it was stuffed with fishing rods, nets and reels, spools of fishing lines; while along the wall were glass cases of Swiss army knives, fire lighters, and beautifully engineered gadgets which had to be taken out and admired.
