You may have featured them before (we have!) but it’s hard to beat the Christmas window display from Terenure Office Supplies – featuring moving trains and flying reindeer.

The Report will now be shared widely and Galway County Council will facilitate a structured consultation process with a strong focus around Tuam.
“I want to ensure that whatever action is taken respects the memory and dignity of those who are buried there and takes account of the concerns and wishes of all who are affected, whether as former residents of thehome, relatives of those who may be buried there, or as local residents who live near the site”

Karina: “If Santa was a burger chef, I would order a burger consisting of fresh lobster dressed in lemon mayonnaise, shredded lamb’s lettuce, king prawns in a little mild garlic and parsley sauce, crushed avocado, slices of vine ripened tomato and salad leaves, on Christmas morning.”
Bernie: “If Santa was a burger chef, I would order a burger consisting of sage and onion flavoured buns filled with succulent sliced turkey, maple smoked bacon, caramelized onion, a disc of stuffing, wilted spinach, and hint of mustard on roast potato slices, on Christmas morning. Yummy yummy yummy in my fat tummy.”
Thanks all.
