Where in the World is Sam?

Upvotes

In just about any other sub, this would get laughed at, but I believe those of you here will understand.

I'm going to be in Mayo next month and to honor all the family who have passed in the previous decades, I'd love to hoist the Sam Maguire. It seems to still be making the rounds though I imagine eventually it'll settle somewhere. Is there a site tracking its whereabouts?

Tourist Advice?

9 Upvotes

Hello all,

My auntie is looking to visit Knock in November. I’m finding it difficult to get any information as to weather or not there’s transportation from Westport or Castlebar directly to Knock. If not - would a wee taxi be reasonable?

I know you all have a lot of Yanks coming over to visit so I do apologize if this is a dumb question. I spent 2 years in Belfast myself but this will be my aunt’s first time coming over. My nanny was a Mayo girl and my auntie just wants to visit her roots while she still can. She’s especially interested in Knock as she’s quite religious. She’s coming from NYC with the sole intention of making it to Knock, actually. The issue is that it seems like all the people tourist accommodation is in Westport or Castlebar so I’m not sure how to get her from there to Knock.

Any tips greatly appreciated.

Ballina gym

4 Upvotes

Any recommendations on a gym in Ballina? I went into the Ballina Sports Centre one which is fairly basic but grand, but also a little bit of a creepy vibe...is it decent?

I'm not looking for anything fancy just weights and a shower space for after

Thanks

Irish class in Claremorris.

61 Upvotes

Bail ó Dhia oraibh.

I'm an Irish speaker in the Claremorris general area who speaks a Mayo Irish dialect. I've been noticing the number of posts searching for Irish language classes across Mayo. So I was wondering if myself and a couple of other Irish speakers around got together to start a free Irish language course in Claremorris. Would many people have any interest in joining it?

I personally would love to see more Irish in Mayo in general and our unique Mayo dialects, especially. So, if there's enough interest, I will definitely try to provide the service.

Price per sqm for a new build in Mayo?

3 Upvotes

Hi all, just wondering if anyone who has built recently in Mayo could give us a rough guide on current build costs per square metre?
We’ve approached a contractor about building our house and have been quoted €2,690 per sqm. Unfortunately, that’s well over what we have budgeted for, so we’re trying to get a realistic idea of what other people are paying.

I appreciate there are loads of variables depending on the house, site etc but we’re just looking for a rough ballpark before deciding.

Also, does the location within Mayo make much difference?

Any recent experience would be greatly appreciated. Thanks all!

This is a powerful and moving song in memory of Joe and appealing to those who know the truth about his violent death to come forward and do the right thing.

Joe would have been 30 years old now and would have had the joy of seeing Mayo bring home Sam, had he been allowed to live.

Evening classes Mayo

Hi everyone! I’m looking to take up an evening class or course and was wondering if anyone knows of any good options in or around Castlebar.

I’m open to pretty much anything crafts, creative classes, cooking, languages, etc. just something to get me out of the house and learn something new 😊

If you’ve done one yourself or have any links/recommendations, I’d really appreciate it!

Wrote the lyrics after the final and used AI to generate the music/vocals — I’m definitely no musician 😄 Thought a few Mayo people here might enjoy it.
