Bidvest Noonan

I worked for Bidvest Noonan in the Eyre Square Center on the night shift, but I was fired on my second day of duty despite completing all my tasks. They didn’t provide any reason for the termination. The job was hectic, with only two people assigned to clean the entire building. I wouldn’t recommend this company to anyone looking for a job.

What do you guys think about this kind of work culture?

Where can I get some campaign posters for art?

I hate hate hate them but they are really good for art, breaking and gluing to make things. Where do they go so I can ask for a 1 or 2. I'm assuming they are just binned as I don't think that material is recyclable

The Helicopter In Question

Seeing as I couldn’t post into the OP’s post this was the Military Aircraft operating into UH Galway today & then Renmore Army Barracks on a training flight. It was ALPHA WHISKEY 276, an Irish Air Corps AW139, Tail number 276, operated by 301 Tactical Helicopter Squadron, 3 Operations Wing, Casement AB, Dublin.

That’s a photo I have of her. They train into UH Galway with new Crews before they progress to join the Emergency Aeromedical Service saving lives.

Best supermacs across Galway?

Poor employment standards aside, every now and again it is a guilty pleasure, reminder of my youth.

Which supermacs do you find to be the most decent quality across the county?

Smaller venues for indie-folk artist

Hey all :-) I am looking to tour Ireland with a fellow folk artist and reddit never fails me - what are some venues that would suit styles similar to Joni Mitchell, Gregory Alan Isakov, Glen Hansard, Flyte & Elliot Smith?

Thank you in advance, any advice is so so so appreciated! Love your city.

Booking a driving test after failing the first attempt (Galway West)

Hello community,
Today (i.e. 3rd Dec 2024), I had my driving test and I couldn't make it. I'd like to understand the process of re-booking a driving test. I had the test today around noon, and I still haven't received an email from the system. I appreciate any guidance on this. Thanks!

On-Going Art Classes in Galway

Have been looking for a while now for some art classes in Galway that aren't one off multi week courses, but on-going courses that happen weekly or bi-weekly.

Looking for something like sketching, life drawing etc.

I've done one of Just Art It's courses, which was great, but only 3 weeks.

Places to play Dungeons and Dragons

Is there anywhere else besides Dungeons and Donuts that has spaces for a group to play D&D?

I'm not dissing Dungeons and Donuts but the times my players are available doesn't always match their times so I'd like options.

B&Q Knocknacarra

I have never seen such contempt for customers.Decided to drive across town to woddies instead of giving B&Q money .Woddies have way better (& cheaper) sets of lights and trees for Christmas.The lads even carrried the tree out to the car as I had kids with me. Shamelessy plugging Woddies as the level of service was so much better. B&Q obviously surviving on a captive market. People of knocknacarra you deserve better.

Irish water pay?

Hi guys to all the people who have worked/work in the Eyre square area and affected by the water shut down. Do Irish water reimburse for the business loss/troubles over the weekend? Closed bars, no water in bathrooms, guests out of showers. Surely they would have to do something for the bother?
