Does anyone have any idea what Galway County Club is about at Weir House across from the cathedral?

Basicly lads talking sh1te tbh, got dragged there by a solicitor and a barrister before (talk about keeping up with the stereotype) - not my scene, made my excuses and left...

Basically an invite only to become a member club, from years back a member had to propose you for membership. You’d be vetted by the club, before acceptance.
From what I remember, there’s a bar, meeting rooms etc, in times gone by, accommodation was also provided for visiting members; Visiting judiciary, for example.
The newer addition to the building in the 1980’s included a snooker/billiards room.
