22 Dec. 2024 - Claregalway Mocha Beans to Provide Free Meals and Blankets for Those in Need This Christmas

In a heartwarming gesture of community spirit, a Claregalway cafĂŠ is stepping up to ensure no one in the area spends Christmas alone or hungry. The local eatery, known for its deep ties to the community, will be offering free soup and sandwiches to anyone in need on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.

The initiative aims to support individuals who may be spending the holidays alone or struggling financially. In addition to the meals, the cafĂŠ will also provide blankets to help keep recipients warm during the cold winter nights.

“There’s nothing more important than looking after each other, especially at this time of year,” the café’s management stated. “No one should feel forgotten or go hungry during the holidays. We just want to spread a little warmth and kindness.”

The meals and blankets will be available outside the café’s premises throughout Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. The café emphasizes that there are no questions asked – anyone who needs a meal is welcome to stop by and take what they need.

Locals are encouraged to share the initiative widely to ensure that those who need it most are aware of the offering.

📍 Location: Outside the café in Claregalway
🕰️ When: All Christmas Eve and Christmas Day

19th Dec. 2024 - Galway City Completes Bus Priority Project for Parkmore Ahead of Schedule

Galway City Council has announced the early completion of the Parkmore Road Bus Priority Project, just in time for the holiday season. Construction began in February 2024 and finished ahead of schedule, delivering vital infrastructure improvements to enhance public transport and active travel in the area.

The project includes a 600-meter southbound bus lane from the Business Park roundabout to the Monivea Road junction, six new bus stops, four signalised pedestrian crossings, and upgraded footpaths on both sides of the road. Junctions have also been redesigned to reduce car speeds, with significant upgrades completed at the Monivea Road signalised junction.

Derek Pender, Director of Service for Project Development, highlighted the importance of the initiative for improving journey times and encouraging more people to use public transport. Shane Cannon, representing the Parkmore Traffic Action Group, welcomed the project, emphasizing its role in improving accessibility and supporting local businesses and workforce needs.

The project marks another step in Galway City Council’s commitment to sustainable and active travel solutions across the city.

Galway Labour Councillors Call for Urgent Counselling Support in Direct Provision Centre

Labour Councillors Helen Ogbu and John McDonagh have called for immediate grief counselling and mental health supports for residents of a Galway Direct Provision Centre following the recent tragic deaths of two women.

The councillors report that the deaths, though unrelated and occurring outside the centre, have deeply affected the 54 women living there, many of whom are already coping with trauma from fleeing violence and persecution.

Councillor Ogbu emphasised the urgent need for intervention, particularly ahead of Christmas, a challenging time for many in Direct Provision. She urged the HSE and the Department of Integration to act swiftly and provide professional counselling, citing existing models for rapid support in other sectors, such as education.

The councillors stress the broader need to address mental health challenges across the Direct Provision system, where residents face immense trauma, stress, and uncertainty.
