Getting married this year and looking for a spot for suits.

Wedding is on a tight enough budget so the cheaper the better really, anyone have any recommendations around the city?

Are you buying or renting?

If buying, I just picked up some cheap shirts and a blazer in David E Menswear out in the Liosbaun Estate this week myself. Their sale is on the wind down but they have some stuff left.

There's also that Suit Republic place in the Liosbaun who seem to do good priced suits.

So head for the Liosbaun for a look!

Hi, I signed on before Xmas and I got a signing slip in the post, but with no return address.

I hear the office has moved recently? Can anyone tell me the new address and if that is where I need to send it? Thanks.`

P.S. Does it need a stamp?

Where can one get a decent set of tongs in the city? (For the fire, as opposed to 'thongs' which my (male) housemate accidentally asked for in Dunnes one day, much to the poor staff member's bemusement...)

Woodies,b&q etc have them,none are particularly good ones though, quite light and definitely not a homemade version of yesteryear.

Sorry - I've just woken up

Thanks for the offer though.

Those things are massive - were they used for lifting entire bales of briquettes into the fire?

17:23 and just woken up! It's ok for some:).

Not as large as you might think. About 520cm, perfect for turning logs over in an open fire. What else would you need tongs for? .

Thanks so much! Don't know why that didn't come up when I was googling it. Just moved back to galway, can be hard to find the indie film places!
Saw that new place though, looks great, hopefully it'll open soon.

Is there any place where I can bring old clothes (and get a few € for them)? I think that those clearout.ie shops have closed down.

I'm looking for a fishmongers around the Parkmore/Ballybrit area. Does anyone know of one and is it good quality? Mainly looking for salmon but I'll eat any sort of fish if the fishmonger recommends it and tells me how to cook it properly!

Thanks

It's just off the tuam road, on your right hand side as you travel away from Galway.
