The Greening of Galway

The Labour Party ran a campaign last week to keep Eyre Square green. Townies, eh. ? If they want to make the square green again, just leave it alone. Already, the abandoned construction work in the square is reverting to nature. By the time the work begins again in October, it will be a jungle (and there'll be no shortage of wildlife once Race Week starts on Monday). Pat McDonagh has upped the ante by hanging a sign outside SuperMacs at the top of the Square (see below). Ironically, SuperMacs is located in the one part of the square that has been finished completely (and it's also where much of the wildlife go for fodder late at night).

A couple of pictures of the Eyre Square wilderness here and here.
