    You can't really expect a journalist to travel all the way to down the road, and spend what could be hours, doing their job. She's on facebook anyway, so she might as well get her information from those reasonable people.

    You do realise that most of what appears in our local newspapers comes word-for-word from press-releases.

    So, what's your point? That's not even the argument.

    The journo could have just walked around the corner and checked the situation out rather than relying on 2nd hand information out. Tribune office is a 1 min walk from shop street.

    Is Galway getting bad? That's a shame. Never give money to anyone claiming to need it for a hostel. It's not true and I don't know how many times that has been tried on me in Dublin. Also never give money to Roma gypsies. Sadly they're usually part of a gang. I remember when they used to go door-to-door in Galway.. they tried doing it to me and I told them to f-ck right off. They don't deserve politeness.
