    The Galway races

    Posted by Kerforo 26 July 2007

    Throughout Ireland people of all ages and occupations prepare for the Galway races with a fervour that is almost religious in its intensity.

    Budgets are planned, holidays are arranged, and business is scheduled to conform with the sacrosanct dates of the annual week-long festival.

    Ballybrit, about 5km from Galway. Shuttle bus services are provided during race week.
