Re: the fairest county <strong>of</strong> them all<br />

To add to the point above, does anyone notice the resentment and anger amongst the<br />

disadvantaged? The gap between rich and poor is growing further and further apart because<br />

there are no jobs for those people who lost them when Abbott et al closed down. What is the<br />

government doing about this? I have nothing but mistrust and disillusionment towards the<br />

current political party, First Party. I believe as a result <strong>of</strong> the government’s neglect, crime is on<br />

the increase and law and order has become an issue <strong>of</strong> personal responsibility through the<br />

surveillance <strong>of</strong> Galway city using ID cards, electronic tagging, CCTV tracking and GPS tracking.<br />

You all like to talk about how great Galway is in terms <strong>of</strong> cultural activity but what about our<br />

lagging economy, our weak national transport infrastructure and our local physical<br />

infrastructure, where the housing stock and affordability are major issues <strong>of</strong> concern. By 2020<br />

there was a turning point in Ireland, where it was each for our own, but what about national<br />

sovereignty and everything that stands for togetherness and collaboration? We have a weak<br />

economy, barley scrapping by on what is brought in from our tourism sector. We need to start<br />

thinking big otherwise we are sure to end up in further turmoil.<br />

Born and bred in <strong>Dublin</strong> and frequent visitor to Galway, culturally speaking, there are times I<br />

miss and pine for the city because <strong>of</strong> the events that it hosts. These include the Galway Synge<br />

Fringe festival and the Free Art Gallery <strong>of</strong> Life weekly exhibit <strong>of</strong> masters from around the world.<br />

The Synge’s fringe festival will be on in Galway next month. There will be a plethora <strong>of</strong> events,<br />

exhibitions and performances, running in the city to celebrate the playwright's legacy.<br />

Those <strong>of</strong> you living in Galway should seize the opportunity to attend some <strong>of</strong> the events in the<br />

festival - I would if I were living there. And those <strong>of</strong> you who aren’t take this as a chance to get<br />

away from the hustle and bustle <strong>of</strong> life to explore your cultural roots.<br />

According to the other posts, Galway has a declining stagnant rural economy, but this is not the<br />

case at all. For instance, the Irish have become increasingly resource conscious and<br />

environmentally aware, particularly in the West. Galway is driving this in terms <strong>of</strong> renewable<br />
