New guy in town seen him about the place begging. He has the exact same setup as the gang in Athlone operate (pushchair with blankets pilled on and cardboard with message on it). If anyone's been to Athlone recently they are always 3 of them everyday 1 each at the shopping centers and another outside Dunnes in the town center they all have the same triangle shaped cardboard sign and pram stacked with blankets.

Anyway just put this out there so know not to give them money because you are basically funding human traffickers these guys are also smoking spice sometimes so beware if you are a woman or especially if you have kids with you when passing them on the street

Do any students have last year's semester 1 timetable? This year's timetable is not ready yet and I'm trying to get an idea of hours. I know it may change this year but even having an idea of how many hours of class/tutorial/labs per module would be helpful.

that is all

Hello there! I’m 31F and I would like to make some friends, preferably females as I don’t have any proper friends who are girls and I love to have a good girl chat. I find it hard to meet new people and I’m a bit awkward until I get to know someone. If anyone is near and would like to make a new friend then don’t be afraid to message 😄

Lads, what is the best Chippie in town ? Which one is the the go to ?

The history compiled by St. Mary's Historical Society sets out: The Castlebar District Lunatic Asylum, later known as St. Mary’s Hospital, was opened on April 26, 1866, so it will soon be the 160th anniversary of this opening.

The Castlebar District Asylum was one of several asylums built throughout the 32 counties in response to the Report from the Select Committee on Relief of Lunatic Poor In Ireland published in 1817 which highlighted the lack of facilities for the treatment of people with mental illness.

The first such facility west of the Shannon was the Connaught Lunatic Asylum, later known as St. Bridgit’s Hospital in Ballinasloe, which opened in 1833 and patients from Mayo had to travel there for treatment. So the opening of the asylum in Castlebar in 1866 was, at that time, a major development and improvement for this area.

As time went on, those patients who died in the asylum and whose remains were not taken home by their relatives for burial in their own area were interred in a mass grave on the asylum grounds at Aglish.

Hi all, I am in my 30's and living part way to Claremorris. My mates are engaged and living further a field and I don't speak to them much. I am looking for activities and social interaction. Could anyone recommend a group or group activities around the town?

DM if interested 😁

Hey all, wondering is there's any D&D groups out there? I play a very chilled out version of D&D very similar to the podcast Dungeons and Daddies. (Great podcast). However if you know anything about D&D then you know that this is nothing like actual D&D and I would like to play some actual D&D.

So if anyone could suggest any groups or places to find this type of stuff would be real cool

I've been to Castlebar a few times and I've noticed there seems to be a lot of English people. Most of the shops I went into had staff with English accents. Heard a few on the streets too. Nearly felt like I was in England. Is it a coincidence or is there a larger population there for some reason? Just haven't noticed that quite as much in other towns.

Best fired chicken ?

Recommendations please
