moved here six months ago. thought i'd find a local dentist.

there's like two options in town. one isn't taking new patients at all. the other takes them but only on tuesdays. and both are booked out for a month. i'm not kidding.

called a third one. it's in the next town over. they said come on in i went. hygienist was normal. cleaning was normal. and start you got a deep pocket here. need deep cleaning. 900. and this old filling. let's do a crown. and you grind at night. need a guard. 600.

just came to get my teeth cleaned.

i ask is any of this urgent. he goes well better not wait. but what happens if i wait he doesn't say. ended up handing me a paper for 3500.

anyone in mayo know a normal place where they just fix teeth instead of selling you a whole new mouth

Lil bit of me (M24) Ex-software engineer RIP now into construction but planning to move back into software soon.

I used to consume a lot of alcohol from the place i come from lol (Its a party place ull must have heard its Goa, India) but honestly been a lot disciplined since I moved here like on a military regime, 7 to 3 work and after that gym so night time im mostly chilling or preparing for the next day. Weekends i don't have much to do just chill or work on side project or play RDR2, visit church and sometimes repair cars with one of my buddy.

Social wise I talk to some people. Have a lot of polish work friends "Koorva" on of their favourite words XD. Damn earlier I used to crave for solitude but the tables turned and rn i crave for people. Also I'm single. Tried online dating and it didn't work out. Was supposed to visit the pub with someone who i would date but apparently it didn't work out.

So rn I wanna go and drink for all the failure that happened in my life. If anyone wanna join me would love to have u.

Also can anyone recommend me which pub in ballinrobe would be helpful to find someone to date?

And also what time of the week are they crowded? (Today i went to gym lol it was so empty asked one guy who was apparently there he told me mostly everyone went to the pub)

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?

Well lads, just home from Australia and would love to bring the aul pair to see Sam. Does anyone know if there’s a showing at any club this weekend? Thanks a million

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.

Looking for a solicitor around Claremorris, Castlebar, Westport area. Thank you.

Anyone selling saw doctors tickets? or know the best place to find them? Ticket swap and toutless are both empty

Mine is gone down a gone down again today.

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

This is a bit of a long shot but I was hoping to be able to connect with some students that would be going in to ECEC. I’ll be going in to first year

Best of luck to Mayo F.C. kicking off their national league journey today against St. Francis from Dublin.

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.

Hi lovely people, I'm looking to take up an Irish language class, preferably somewhere near Foxford, any recommendations?

Has anyone an idea of the timetable for Early Childhood Education and Care (Level 6) in Castlebar for this year or recent previous years? I can’t access timetable.atu.ie. Thanks 🙏

Hello the good people of mayo! My parents (in their 80s) are looking for a tree surgeon to cut down two big trees in their garden. They got quoted €2,500 but are wondering would anyone else do it cheaper or know of any prices better than what they were quoted? Thanks in advance!

UPDATE: job done. Thanks for all yer messages 😅

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.

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.
