    Galway has an extremely small amount of large hotels & in the is extremely popular destination for both Irish and foreigners , hence expensive rates. Limerick is a fair amount cheaper, I'm presuming more rooms & less demand.

    Galway is always expensive for accommodation, and more so when you are only looking to book 7 days away. I don’t know if anything specific on in the city though. Rugby match maybe?
    No pro rugby match this weekend and regular pro14 games in general wont have huge demand from away fans

    Tourism is very important to the economies of a many areas in rural Ireland
    Yes it is, but so often here we are doing things to facilitate tourism to the detriment of locals. Many many cities in Europe are tourist centres and still manage to facilitate the locals no matter what the season.

    Limerick isn't that much cheaper, paid €129 last Saturday night for the imaginatively named Limerick City hotel.

    And that's a very basic hotel, made the mistake of staying there last-minute before.

    Same as that last minute, nothing else available is the mad thing on an ordinary Saturday in Limerick . Hotel was fine for one night , breakfast was poor.

    Ya Limerick at weekends always books up fast and isn't cheap either.
