There is a great saying in Galway that people love to discuss two things; the weather and traffic! This week was no different. Traffic in the city needs to eventually make its way through to a destination and/or park. That is where the conversation went to this week. Parking has had its problems in recent months in the city. While a number of people have moved to the city council's parking app, many more want cash and card option at parking machines. That option has became less readily available and there are talks of removing the machines altogether due to the ongoing legal challenge halting proceedings.  We got the thoughts of some of the people on the street in Galway City, many of whom want the option of cash and card payments on the street. Others argued that pragmatic decisions are needed. Perhaps a return of disc parking as part of the mix in the city? We also lost a great former colleague and friend this week here at Galway Bay FM with the sad passing of Ken Kelly. He was remembered as a diligent and tenacious journalist, calm colleague and great friend.  Perhaps most importantly he was a proud Ballinasloe man and revelled at positive developments in the area over a number of decades. He will be sadly missed. Our Head of News Bernadette Prendergast and former newsroom colleague Tom Gilmore paid a heartfelt tribute to Ken. Litter in the city came to the fore again this week. A big clean-up operation was done on the waterways and canals in the heart of town. Lots of bottles, cans and general waste came up to the surface and was properly disposed of. It struck up a conversation as to whether or not we are managing litter in the city to the best of our ability. However, there seems to be no end in sight to the issue of oats and porridge being scattered across town. This is despite assurances the issue was being resolved by the relevant authorities. The refuse is leading to serious health and safety concerns, whether that be in the form of vermin or seagulls. We were out and about for Community Matters on Friday in the beautiful village of Cornamona. We will be back on Galway Talks on Monday from 9am, where our Galway Great is PJ Duggan!

Hurling Chat this week is delighted to have County Board Chairman Paul Bellew as our special guest. Niall & Sean spoke to Paul about several topics, including: · Galway Hurling & Football Advisory Groups · New U20 Manager Gavin Keary · Galway Club Championships 2025 – leading to new structure 2026 · Academies – changes and progress · Galway United to play in Pearse Stadium · Roscommon Clubs in Galway Competitions · Facilities – where the mooted use of Galway Airport at? This week's pod finishes with a quick look at Round 3 of the Championships from last weekend.

Racing in Ireland on Saturday (6th September 2025) is in Navan. Cross-channel, there are meetings in Haydock, Kempton, Ascot, Thirsk, Stratford and Wolverhampton. With his 'Saturday Six,' here's Galway Bay FM's George McDonagh.

Following back-to-back promotions, Craughwell United, formed in 1991, are in the top flight of Galway men's soccer for the first time as they'll compete in this season's Western Hygiene Supplies Brod Trill Premier League. They've already received a tough introduction to top-flight football, but will be back in action this Sunday (7th September) away to Corrib Celtic at 11.30am.  The big game and occasion, they are looking forward to is their first home game against Mervue United the following Saturday (13th September) at 2pm in Coleman Park. All this comes after they formed a senior women's team for the first time last season.  And they were rewarded with Champions Cup success last spring.  And with multiple pitches and plent of training facilities, the club is continuing to grow with an astro surface and car park being planned for their grounds in Ballynagran (H91 EKD3). Galway Bay FM's Darren Kelly headed out this week to see the club and chat to chairperson Alan Tormey and facilities officer Tom Cunningham about developments both on and off the field.

After being postponed last week following the sad passing of recent assistant manager Ollie Horgan, Galway United return to SSE Airtricity League Men's Premier Division action on  Sunday (7th September 2025) when they travel to defending champions Shelbourne. United are currently in eighth place on 30 points, level with Sligo Rovers, with only goal difference separating the Tribesmen from the relegation play-off spot.  They are also without a victory in eight league games. But they are unbeaten in their last four games against the Dublin-based team, even if the previous three have finished in draws.  United's last competitive win away to Shelbourne was in October 2014 when goals from Ryan Connolly and Jake Keegan gave them a 2-1 victory in a promotion play-off. Former St. Patrick's Athletic and Dundalk manager Jon Daly became Galway United's new assistant manager last mont,h and he looked forward to the game with Galway Bay FM's Darren Kelly. == Kick-off at Tolka Park on Sunday is 5pm, and we'll have full coverage on our website galwaybayfm.ie.

Rapparees are just four years old, and this is their third consecutive All-Ireland Final.  They lost the intermediate men's final in 2023 but were WINNERS in the Junior Mixed decider 12 months ago. Leading up to the game, Galway City Rapparees chairperson and player Tomás Kenny has been chatting to Galway Bay FM's Darren Kelly. == Action begins at the Meath GAA Centre of Excellence, Dunganny on Sunday at 12pm.
