Suzanne Ahearne’s Galway Memories | Galway News

Step back in time to Galway’s vibrant 1988-89 with the stunning new outdoor exhibition Faces of Galway, featuring haunting black-and-white photos by Canadian photographer Suzanne Ahearne. Arriving with nothing but a backpack and a camera, Ahearne captured the soul of the city—its markets, its streets, its iconic figures like Michael ‘Chick’ Gillen and Una Taaffe—before Galway’s transformation. Now, after nearly 40 years, these images are back home, donated to the University of Galway Library, where they’ll preserve the city’s rich social tapestry for generations. Ahearne, still enchanted by Galway’s warmth and creativity, hopes the photos spark nostalgia and deepen our connection to this pivotal chapter in the city’s story.
