I didnt hear it but Castlebar is an amazing town with a deep long proud history . From the races of 98 to the land league Ernie O Malley the inventor of the mono rail
Recently Its sad to see so many empty buildings aorund main street. Im still upset the Humbert closed the ancient shop front and window should have been preserved .
dalys hotel now the ancient barracks is gone , I mean the town was named after a barracks .

Meant to say the broadcast I was referring to was about Ballinrobe.

Agree that Castlebar is also a most historic town.

I think it's name comes from the Barry family - Caisleán an Bharraigh?
