    Hopefully the docks will take some of the load from Shop Street.
    It's pure mayhem there at 11pm race nights if the weather is good.

    Bars close down the docks at 10pm.

    The crowd issue is on Quay/High/Cross Street imo.

    I wouldn't call it an issue its brilliant imo, the atmosphere on the streets is unbeatable you wont get anything like it anywhere else in the world. I will be right in the thick of it!!

    Two Italian friends joined me for the friday and saturday nights last year and they absolutely loved it, resulting in them coming 3 days next week rather than 2 like last year.

    Not very big, which is normal considering they are lads.

    Just using them as an outsiders perspective of race week in Galway.

    I'll be updating Galway Public Transport News as soon as I find out from a reliable source exactly what's happening this year.

    fyi, 'tis now updated.

    New this year: Farrells are going a bus or two each day from Oranmore. Details in the link.


    Also, if you work in Parkmore, catch the bus and will be working next week: note the times when the No 9 buses will stop at Doughiska. Don't be like the 20+ people I saw standing at the bus stop at 5pm on the first racing day last year, looking all annoyed.
