Galway’s streets are heating up with a string of violent crimes — from a brutal early-morning assault on Abbeygate Street to brazen break-ins in Lettermullen and Newcastle, plus a smashed-up van in Athenry. Authorities are urgently seeking witnesses, especially anyone near Inishannagh Park Friday night or spotting a grey BMW 5 series estate — your info could be the key to catching these guys.

The government is pouring 40 million euros into four major housing projects in Galway East, unlocking land for over 2,000 new homes across Athenry, Tuam, and Gort. Each project gets up to 10 million euros, with Athenry leading the way—new roads and wastewater upgrades will pave the way for 800 homes each. This isn’t just about bricks and mortar; it’s about building livable communities and tackling the region’s housing crisis. Officials say this is a critical step forward, and more big news is expected for Galway West today.

Big changes are coming to Church Road in Headford starting Monday, June 29th, as part of the Claran Road active travel scheme — designed to boost safety and accessibility for everyone, especially students. The project includes widening the footpath outside the national school and adding a new pedestrian crossing linking the school to the church. Local councillor Andrew Reddington assures residents that parking and traffic flow will be maintained, with the focus squarely on student safety. Work will finish just in time for the new school term, and some grass verges will be removed to make way for the upgrades — all aimed at creating a safer, more walkable environment for pedestrians and cyclists.

After 15 years without a single bus, Rosshill is getting a second chance at public transport—thanks to City Councillor Alan Cheevers pushing hard for a revived route tied to new housing developments. With a bus shelter still standing as a ghostly reminder, the community’s demand is clear: as people move in, the city must move too. Now, the National Transport Authority must decide if Rosshill’s long wait is finally over.

Galway residents crushed recycling targets last year, turning in nearly 10kg of e-waste per person—topping Ireland’s national average. Across the country, over 39,000 tonnes of electronics were diverted from landfills in 2025, smashing records since WEEE Ireland began operations two decades ago. Eighty-four percent of counties saw recycling rates climb, while 82% of collected materials were successfully recovered for reuse—surpassing EU standards. Highlights include nearly 19 million small appliances, 2 million lighting products, and over 278,000 TVs and monitors kept out of trash. But as WEEE Ireland’s CEO reminds us, true success isn’t just about volume—it’s about the quality and value of what we recover.

Zero revenue collected from Ireland’s derelict property tax last year — not a single cent — despite 19,000 abandoned homes nationwide and 11 local authorities, including Galway, Cavan, and Donegal, failing to collect a single euro. A staggering €26 million in potential tax revenue vanished, raising serious questions about oversight and missed opportunities to fix homes, boost communities, and tackle housing crises.

Seven tiny puppies, just a month old, were found dumped in a cardboard box on a Connemara road—cold, scared, and starving. Thankfully rescued, they’re now in the care of MADRA, where most are recovering, though one remains critically weak. This heartbreaking case underscores the urgent need for support for overwhelmed pet owners before abandonment happens. MADRA is also searching for the mother, hoping she’s safe, while rallying for donations of Royal Canin Starter Mousse to keep these fragile pups alive and thriving.
