Agree, need to pick up a handful of bath bombs etc. to top off a present, gona have to pop to lush when I'm in Dublin next. I would have thought the body shop would be all over that sort of thing but no.

A big city park like the Phoenix park. What could be done with South park I wonder and further land reclamation there and harbour area. Or further out eg Moycullen road/drum area.
My idea is Menlo Park. Make a huge national park, including Menlo castle as a historically protected site (because I'd want to stop some rich asshole turning it into their apartment), stretching all the way along the river. That's what I would do if I had infinite money, build amenities like tea rooms, walled garden, museum with observation tower to have a nice view of the corrib, have a proper park. It's an absolutely beautiful stretch along the river, perfect for a park.

Certainly has merit, proposal at the minute for this area is to put the new city expressway/motorway through Menlo Castle lands so I think those rich assholes you mention will be staying away from here if it goes ahead.

A huge part of the problem is that Galway is in a dire state when it comes to traffic congestion, and a bypass is most certainly needed, but there could be so much more done for city center traffic as well. The bottleneck near the Town Hall, Cathedral and Headford road is in a ridiculous state. One thing I read a while back was that there were plans floating about for a second bridge to be built parralel to the Salmon Wier bridge, and that would be a fantastic idea, but what I'd do as well is implement a one-way system around the Cathedral. Now, this is a really, really rough idea, but something like this:
Then, as well as the bypass, a bridge/tunnel much closer to the city linking Upper Newcastle with the very top of the Dyke Road, like this:
Then, upgrade the Dyke Road. The bypass would need to be further out, but there really does need to be additional bridging between East and West of the city, not just a bypass, or things will just keep getting worse and worse. Galway needs better infrastructure.0 -

This aerial photo is OLD. Would need to knock a new NUIG Biomedical buildings for this proposal.0 -
