Looking for a front Page Photo from Galway Independent

Rach_11

I have been trying to locate archives of the Galway independent that I believe was shut down around 2020. I am looking for issue 41 in particular printed October 2012 the front page had a photo of my fathers boat in Claddagh quay Galway a photography competition winner took the photo I would love to get a copy of it to frame. I've contacted the local library, irish Independant, Cork Independent (used to be produced by same people). I was sent this url by Galway library. It won't allow me to attach the link does have some Galway Independent archives but I cant seem to access Oct 2012. I'm hoping someone out there might know how to help. I appreciate any help or advice on this !!

Go to achieve.md and enter the url you have.

Also try the national library of Ireland www.nli.ie they should have a copy of the paper you are looking for.

The Galway and Cork Independents were produced by the same company but it had nothing to do with the Irish Independent/INM/Mediahuis. I don't believe they had a Galway paper but their Cork paper is the Corkman.

I think your best bet in the Galway court libary or maybe ask in the Galway advertiser office if they know how you might find out more about the loca news paper archives. Also Kenny’s bookshop might be of help with historical news papers.
