All About Galway 

Geography Counties of Ireland Project

By Grace Hand, 2nd Class

Galway is known as Ireland's Cultural Heart and is known for its vibrant lifestyle and lots of festivals and celebrations. &nbsp;Every November, Galway hosts the Tulca Festival of Visual Arts as well as numerous festivals.

Galway City has a reputation for the&nbsp;Irish language,&nbsp;music, song and dancing traditions.

Every summer I go to Salthill with my family. We go swimming in the Atlantic ocean, and we get ice cream after!

The River Corrib flows through Galway Bay and can carry a person at up to 3 meters per second, making it the second fastest in all of Europe!

My project is all about County Galway. It is located on the west coast of Ireland, with a population of over 80,000 people.

Galway is home to Ireland's longest place name. Muckanaghederdauhaulia translates to ‘piggery between two briny places’ and is in Connemara.
