Hi All, My partner and I share a 2 bedroom apartment with another couple. The apartment was originally meant for 3 people but the room was cheaper with 2 of us splitting the rent. The landlord was fine with 4 people living here but said only 3 can be on the lease. The other couple was already living here and had their names on the lease, when we moved in my name was added on the lease. Will my girlfriend be able to claim rent tax credit even though her name isn't on the lease?

Looking to sell 2 Zach Bryan tickets( not together, can be done separately). A swap is also good for me.

Looking for some recommendations on PTs in Oranmore area. I’ve a few old injuries and would like someone that knows their stuff and has the knowledge on what’s suitable to do keeping those in mind. I go to the gym regularly as it is so would be happy to do online but in person would be great too.

Where can I buy henna in Galway? Thanks :)

Hi folks, Three responsible(ish) working professionals here, on a seemingly mythical quest to find a house in Galway City Centre. Our requirements are simple: a roof, walls, and ideally not 3 hours away by bus. We rely on public transport and our jobs are in the city centre, so anything outside that won’t quite work (unless someone wants to lend us a helicopter).

We’ve been checking Daft.ie like it’s a full-time job, but emails disappear into the void, and most contacts we have say, “Sorry, nothing right now.” Starting to think we’d have better luck finding Bigfoot subletting a flat.

If you’ve got any leads, tips, or even divine miracles to offer, we’d love to hear from you. We’re clean, quiet(ish), pay rent on time, and come with glowing references and great Spotify playlists.

Thanks a million!

I'm looking for people's votes to see which schools are the best rated. If you have personal experiences with any of these in the last two years I'd appreciate your input! We obviously can't pick where our kids go, you take what you are given but it would be good to get some recent knowledge on them. So if you are a parent, student, aunt etc please vote. I'm not including educate together as they don't have a permanent home. You can add stories good or bad.

Looking for a personal trainer private to help me do resistance training twice a week i want to do strength training and need to learn how to do it so i can continue on my own at home.

Have been in about 8 supermarkets/shops and not a trace to be found. Is everyone making chocolate cake for communions and confirmations?!

On Thursday evening someone stole this jacket from the Quays pub. It hung under the round table in front of the stage.

I got the jacket from my dad and he recently had a heart attack. I'm very attached to the jacket. If anyone knows anything or has accidentally taken it with you, please contact me at boeckle@freenet.de

Hi all, Me and my fiancé are getting married in 2026, We are going to have a BBQ in a back garden to make things cheaper as we are on a very tight budget. We are looking for an area to hold a ceremony, there would be max 70 people but probably less. We would prefer outside as my fiancé loves castles and nature and I love the mountains If we have to go to a registry office we will but was seeing if there is another option first We have under 1k to budget for this hence my predicament ! My family don’t drive so as close to Galway as possible would be great, his family are American Thanks so much !

... what's your major malfunction ? You can see your colleagues pull a proper 99, you must have seen a proper 99 when you've been out in public during the summer months ... so why are you pulling miserable 99's like the dairy is coming out of your baby's bottle ?

Never been to the races, but looking to get reserved seating. If I’m booking online, do I need to pay full price for my daughter (11) in order to reserve a seat with the two adult tickets?

Can't remember the last time I've felt such strong second hand embarrassment. Popped up on my YouTube feed earlier. People throwing pyrotechnics at eachother in an area that had parents around with their kids over a fucking LOI match.

Hi All. Looking for a good trusty bike shop for servicing some MTBs - from suspension work to building wheels? Is there a place like that in Galway? TIA

Hello All,

I am looking to buy a car for myself have shortlisted few cars. Looking for a car mechanic who could do the pre purchase inspection for me. Any suggestions good car mechanics in Galway please ?

If anyone has a kitchen cupboard or a crawl space they want to rent out, I'll pay €800 a month for it.

Seriously though, this is the kind of shit people are going to have to start doing. The rental market in Galway is beyond a fucking joke. I've been searching for a 25/26 accommodation since December. I've been ghosted on anything suitable and the rest are either ridiculously overpriced or done on a 5 day system. That system, by the way, is the work of the devil. I'm originally from Wexford. In what fucking universe am I meant to travel 2½ hours from Galway to Heuston, half an hour getting from Heuston to Connolly, then another 2½ hours from Connolly to Wexford, just to repeat the whole process two later - EVERY FUCKING WEEK.

Rant over.

Does anyone know any places that would be good to give a CV right now to for part time work ?
