I’m an amateur filmmaker from Galway and part of a new production company called the Glimmermen. We have just released our newest short comedy film based on the notable statue of Oscar Wilde in Galway city. The statue is prominently located in the city centre yet no one knows who ‘the other guy’ seated with Oscar Wilde is and few people care to find out.
The Garda Ombudsman is appealing for witnesses following the death of a 43-year-old man in Galway. His body was taken from the River Corrib last night.
The man was stopped at a Garda traffic checkpoint before entering the water at O’Brien’s Bridge.
A post mortem on the body is taking place today.
Anyone with information is asked to contact the Garda Síochána Ombudsman Commission at 1890 600 800.
