    There’s a new Irish music song and dance show Celtic Dream started last week on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday nights in Monroe’s. Not being run by Monroe’s, it’s a new start up business but using Monroe’s venue.

    Sad to hear. Ate there a good few times over the years and always had a good meal. Ate in there as recently as Easter.

    No surprise as it was so overdue,
    I assume it was a 'motivated' decision, I hope they look to barna/furbo now.

    In my experience and all things being equal, more shops means more shoppers not less.

    Well feck, I was really looking forward to having a Lidl bakery across the road.

    Barna is a pretty good idea though.

    Daft decision from ABP.

    Very daft, I cannot see how it would have been bad for the area, not like there's any small shops it could close like the small towns ABP let shops like Lidl, Tesco and Aldi open in.

    Too many shops in the area perhaps ? Joyces Dunnes Aldi + a couple of locals, why the need for more.

    Because there is none that size of town. This is part of the traffic issue. People on the western size must add to already congested roads and unnecessarily add to traffic

    There's a Dunnes and Aldi in the exact area they wanted to build Lidl and Joyces is only a stones throw away. Do people love Lidl so much they'll drive across town to shop there?

    There are certain items they only sell there that we need, I cant get across town to get them with work.

    Thats one of the reasons I want one I can get to on the bus during the days, additional to the extra choice.

    Plenty of small towns in the midlands that have all of those and each of them seems to be doing well enough to keep the lights on.

    I think that was the reason for the objection, but you rational will cause more traffic to cross the river.

    Is cactus Jack's definitely gone? Was my favourite restaurant in Galway and always seemed busy.

    Have they moved location or gone gone??

    It's been closed every time I've walked past for the last few weeks.

    If they'd moved, I'd expect a sign in the window saying where to, and for the place to be cleared out. No sign. And some of their stuff is still inside (as at a few days ago, anyways). The facebook page has been removed, and the website only lists their Dublin location, no mention of Galway.

    New restaurant opened up on Irwin Lane in the last month. It used to be a French café I think but is a Portuguese and Brazilian place now. We ate there last week and really enjoyed it, found it quite reasonably priced too.

    It's listed on Google results now as "permanently closed" so it's a gonner. Went there a few weeks ago after not having been there in a good while. Place was busy as normal and grub was delish...

    "Omniplex Cinemas will open a new 10-screen cinema in the Baily Point complex in Salthill on a phased basis over the coming months, with completion due at the end of the year. It will feature a bar and restaurant, with a service delivering food right to your seat."

    Would that be in the ground floor of the apartment building? I remember when it was built there was talk of a cinema going in and I thought it was repurposed as a car park or something (never been inside so going on old talk). If I was Omniplex I would stipulate the outside of the building needs a facelift so it doesn't look like a dilapidated dump.

    Will be fantastic for Salthill assuming they don't cock it up.

    The story's about to get a little longer. An injunction has been granted preventing the winding up of Stephen Fahy Ltd and preventing the leasehold interest being transferred. Back in the High Court on Thursday the 20th.
