Ireland has always had a complicated relationship with drink… but in 1971, doctors, economists, and coroners were already warning us where it was heading. Long before minimum pricing, before campaigns, before breathalysers were trusted — Ireland was spending more on alcohol than almost anywhere else, moving from pints to spirits, and quietly normalising drunkenness as ‘a bit of craic’. One Galway coroner even warned that the danger wasn’t just the road home… it was the stairs, the bed, the laugh

The history of Ireland is older than the pyramids. The first settlers arrived around 8000 BC, long before written history. Then came the Celts, the Vikings, and the Normans—each wave leaving its mark on the island’s culture. Ancient maps even labeled it “Hibernia,” a mysterious land the Romans never conquered. Ireland was never truly discovered—it was always there, waiting for the world to catch up. 🍀 | Stories with Colleen

Galway in the 1970s was a city caught in a beautiful, awkward growth spurt. It was transitioning from a quiet, provincial market town into the vibrant cultural hub we recognize today. If you walked down Shop Street back then, you’d find a place that felt significantly smaller, saltier, and a bit more rugged. The Atmosphere: Tradition Meets Transition In the early '70s, Galway still had the air of a maritime outpost. The Claddagh was less a tourist destination and more a living community of fishi
