Looks pretty grey and boring in the picture. Am I missing something?
It’s fucking grim
It’s a nice place to visit for a day/night but severely overrated.

Why do people lose their minds when a place is slagged off? A dude found the city boring, because he was bored when he was here. Here’s his full quote:
“My Irish lifestyle suited me better, (It’s) a smaller country, in Bucharest there is more agitation… (In Galway) there aren’t many things to do, it’s a rather boring life during the week. One shopping centre, a youth bar, four sports fields.”
Then you get people who are like “ye he must be miserable”/they must be a cunt from dublin/boring is as boring does etc. **Ireland in general is boring as fuck.** Calm down. It’s not an attack on your cultural identity for fuck sake.
If you think no place can be boring with knowledge of the existence of small towns with zero resources, you’re honestly delusional.
This has nothing on the bollock naked guy tight rope walking across the canal outside the Barge pub in Dublin a few years back.
Wow, couldn’t be more wrong. Looks amazing. Did a double take: thought it was Paris at first.
Well it must be if you have to hang around an arch
Looks pretty boring
Boring is a bash? boring is a good thing on the whole. This living in interesting times thing is a curse, the Chinese had it right.
Galway is beautiful, but it absolutely can be bloody boring. Lived there for five years. Plenty to look at, not so much stuff to do.
Ye have people!?
Well fuck me. I thought it was mainly camels and sand.
Wow that looks mental
Yes it’s very boring there
Wow this looks boring.
Nobody in this country can handle any slander about where they live unless it’s them dishing it themselves
Unpopular opinion: it’s been overrated for years. Had its peak of what was probably a second or third coming in the noughties but has eventually turned into a town where most cannot afford to rent a decent place with poorly laid out infrastructure making driving torturous whilst still a necessity due to inadequate public transport. Coupled with a crowd of absolute wasters ready to mug you at any given opportunity it has just had its day.
A beautiful city. Bit boring. Full of shams at night looking to rob
Aye so the two weeks a year where there’s anything actually on (to the detriment of the other 50 weeks ime) and still it’s mostly just people drinking at the sparch. I don’t think you’re making the point you think you are
I’m watching this right now and I can say that it is quite boring
Is this it all spruced up? I take it back, I thought that was Vegas there for a second.
same thing happened to me from living right next to new york city for over ten years. everywhere can get boring, the same thing over and over looses its charm
Thinnest skin in all of Connaught.
this looks incredibly boring.
This image evokes a nostalgic feeling of “you are a 10 year old dragged by your parents to stand around at some weird festival for 6 hours with pains in your calves from standing so long, and all you get to eat is half a fish sandwich, constantly asking when you can go home”
A heat wave hits the country & it’s still cloudy in Galway…..
Philip, I understand the intent, but this post would have worked better if the picture maybe showed a bit more of the crowd/event and not 90% sky 😅
Wow, a guy in McDonalds colours doing a balancing act and some Ukraine balloons on a lovely, lovely sunny day. Looks incredible, just what I want as a 30+ middle aged lad.
Looks shite to be fair.
Isn’t that farmer Michael fella from Galway?
Someone got butt hurt
It is fairly boring though. Spent afew days there and outside of the pubs there was nothing to do.
Disneyland eat your heart out
Alot of places in Ireland (mostly rural ireland) are very boring if you don’t fancy drinking yourself under the table.
Anyone who says any different most likely falls in to said bracket.
Wanted to add this, if you live in rural Ireland and don’t drive you may aswell be chained down.
I’m from Glasgow I couldn’t give a fuck if someone didn’t like it,I do, enjoy your home town mate🍻🍻👍
No wayyyy, is that people?!!??!?!?!
It looks so quaint and nice. Id love to visit there!
I was there today, can confirm it was boring 😂
Is that where the main food and drink tents for the festival are or is there stuff in Eyre Square as well? Heading up there next Thursday. I can’t wait. I booked us a table in Cava too which I am hype about.
One man’s concept of boring is another man’s concept of laid back.
There’s a reason why Galway is called the graveyard of ambition.
Maybe someone could photoshop in some craic
This subreddit is full of social rejects of course they think it’s boring
For anyone that doesn’t know, they’re doing this tightrope walking over the Corrib because of the high numbers of suicides there.
It’s to try to tackle some of the mental health problems with a new activity that involves mindfulness and skill building.

It sounds hopeful.

Did they put this on as a rebuttal? “Boring, we’ll show them boring…call Tommy the tight rope walker”
Fantastic! A tight rope walker- that will wear up a good hour👍🏻
