    This is a local shop, the strangers you would bring would not understand us, our customs, our local ways.

    I have a display: its called turn away before you see Overheal strolling half/full naked through his living room. Why should I have to be the one who has to dress up to go into my kitchen when youre the one peering through my living room?

    Well, you'll find the way they sacrifice an outsider ever year by burning him in a huge wicker man even odder, I'd reckon.

    Call it a stereotype if you want but saying there are a lot of Travellers in Tuam is like saying there are a lot of Brazillians in Gort... Its just a fact.

    Yes it is a fact, you are right. But to instantly assume that it's a traveller thing is what annoyed me.

    Painting on the windows of derelict buildings just makes them look more attractive, that’s all, Lots of places do it.

    Yes and as the Arts Festival is around the corner, we are trying to improve the look of the town even more...

    The Celtic Tiger kinda missed Tuam, and now that the Tiger is dead and gone, many more towns are going to look the same and we have found that giving a bit of colour to the town helps it just a small bit.
