A generous donation of €3,240 was recently presented to the Oncology Patient Comfort Fund at University Hospitals Galway (UHG) in memory of the late Durcan Forde from Sickeen, Woodquay in Galway who had been a patient in the oncology day ward for two years.

According to O’Donovan’s Ordnance Survey Letters from 1839, “Suckine is now pronounced Suicín, which is, out of satirical humour frequently called Suicín na Mallacht, that is “Sickeen of the Imprecations or Curses”. It is written Sickeen Dyke in the Name Book and described as lying where the road from Galway to Menlo crosses the flooded land at Coolagh.”
