Galway Towns Mull Public Drinking Bans

Galway County Council is eyeing a public drinking ban in more towns, following Tuam’s recent move to outlaw alcohol consumption in public. Athenry, Oranmore, and Claregalway are next in line, with fines proposed to nip disorder in the bud—but no action yet. Council must consult Gardaí and the public before moving ahead, and there’s a tricky twist: Oranmore straddles two districts, so coordination with Loughrea is key to avoid confusing “dry” zones on either side of the same street. Good news? Loughrea’s councilors are onboard—so consistency might just be within reach. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
