A Little Bit of Ireland


PIGOT'S DIRECTORY OF IRELAND - 1824

GALWAY

pg. 204

     The county town of the same name, is distant from Dublin, by the Athenry road 102 miles. The town with its liberties, extending four miles in all directions, constitutes a distinct county, and is governed by a mayor (who is a magistrate, ex officio, of the county at large), a recorder, aldermen and sheriffs. It was formerly walled, and regularly flanked with towers and bastions; its form was a parallelogram, three sides of which were protected with a strong wall, crowned with ramparts, erected in the most commanding positions, the other side as secured by a deep, broad, and rapid river. The enclosed space consists of four principal streets, running parallel to each other, and intersected by cross streets and lanes, nearly at right angles,; some of the ancient castles still exist, and exhibit specimens of skilful and permanent masonry. This ancient town is advantageously situated for foreign and domestic trade, as it lies on a very extensive bay, and has an internal fresh water communication by means of Lough Corrib, which stretches more than 30 miles into the country. This lake discharges its redundant waters by an impetuous current, which in the time of floods, rushes furiously into Galway bay. It is computed to cover an area of 30000 acres, and its island are said to contain 1000 acres of arable and pasture land; its surface is asserted to be only thirteen feet nine inches above high water mark, and its medium rise in floods is three feet. Galway, so early as 1278 was a place of note, for we find from the town records, that, about this time, the inhabitants began to fortify themselves, and to build walls and bastions. We also find by the report of the commissioners on the records of Ireland two rolls, one dated in the 6th year of Edward the 1st empowering the collecting of customs and tolls on various commodities, in aid of ,and the building of walls; the other dated in the 49th year of Edward, the 3rd, entitled "charter of the staple of Galway"; there is also a third record, dated the 6th of August in the first year of Edward the 4th, granting to Germyn Lynch the office of warden and master of the mint in Ireland, and empowering him to coin money for Galway. The merchants carried on an extensive commerce with France and Spain, particularly in wine and brandy; of the former article, their records assert, that they used to import 1200 tons a year, and this trade they monopolied for nearly four centuries. They supplied all Connaught, Leinster and part of Munsert, and had even their stores and vaults at Athboy, in the county of Meath,

the remains of which may still be seen, and hence they supplied Dublin, Drogheda, and the adjacent town; their exports consisted of wood, beef, pork, butter and fish. The shops of Galway are plentifully stored with these articles, which vanity requires, or necessity demands. Course woollen cloths are manufactured here, but not on an extensive scale, as no capitalists have yet embarked in this speculation. The manufacture of linens, though but lately introduced, promises to become a flourishing and permanent branch of trade. Kelp burning, and the extensive herring and other fisheries, carried on in the bay and its various creeks and harbours, employ a numerous, hardy and industrious population. Here is also an extensive salmon fishery, and great quantities of eels are taken at the proper season. The flesh and vegetable markets are plentifully supplied, particularly with veal, kid & lamb. The merchants of Galway used for a long time to furnish the British navy by contract with beef and pork. Their trade and commerce were so lucrative , that the thirteen tribes were enabled, at an early period, to purchase large estates all over Connaught, and part of Munster, many of which notwithstanding the different revolutions that have occurred, are still enjoyed by their posterity. In some ports of the town the houses are divided into separate estates or properties, for each room of which the respective tenants pay a quit rent to the crown, in consequence of a separate patent having been granted by Oliver Cromwell. The pavement is generally bad, having been much neglected, and the greater part of the old town consists of a square edifice upwards of 200 years old with  a small court in the centre; this court communicates with the street by an arched way, on each side of which is a stone staircase. The public buildings are the parochial church, a magnificent Gothic structure, of which the privileges and constitution are unique; a dispensary; a charter school and an hospital; a county jail, which is a noble structure, built in a single, but elegant style of architecture, at a place called Nuns' Island, situate at the west end of the town; it was ready for the reception of prisoners by June 1811; and the situation and convenience rivals any prison in the empire; the town jail is contiguous. There are also three barracks for foot soldiers; four nunneries and three monasteries. The poor house, or refuge for the destitute, is a stone building near the college, and was built by the Rev. Mark Fynn at the expense of 700l. A new corn-market is erecting in Eyre-square, which, when finished, will be of great utility to the town, over it is to be an elegant ball room; a thousand pounds were granted by government towards the erection of this building. The fish market has undergone considerable improvement by means of the funds sent hither by the English for the relief of the suffering Irish in 1822. New butchers' shambles have also been lately erected in Bridge-street by Mr. William Murphy. The Roman Catholic chapel in Middle-street is a very spacious, stone edifice, and when the interior is finished, it will be one of Galway's greatest ornaments. In 1822 a savings' bank was established here, as well as a reproductive loan-fund, which is of essential service to the industrious poor; any person of sober and laborious habits may borrow from this fund a sum not exceeding 10l. by finding two responsible persons, as security for the requirement of it at the rate of ten pence in the pound weekly; there is an extension of this privilege to weavers, who manufacture their own cloth; they may be accommodated with 29l, by finding similar security and repaying it by instalments of five pence in the pound weekly, or twenty pence monthly. Thus an industrious man is enabled to emerge from obscure poverty to respectable competency. The town of Galway sends one member to the united parliament in the person of Michael J. Prendergast, esq. The county sends two, James Daly, esq., of Dunsandle and Richard Martin, esq. of Ballynahinch. There are two market days, Wednesday and Saturday, and tow fairs, on the 31st of May and the 4th of September. The population of the town according to the returns of 1821 was 27,827 and if we include the liberties, the whole will probably yield a total of more than 40,000.
