Does Galway city really care about the hurling final? Why would it?

Colin Sheridan

Its All-Ireland Hurling final week, and Galway is buzzing. How much of the buzz is down to hurling is anybody’s guess. I don’t blame the people, I blame the City. And by the City I don’t mean the Town Council or the Chamber of Commerce, I just mean Galway, and it’s nonchalant indifference. I can’t quite explain it, but between the oysters and artists, maybe there’s just a little bit too much going on for them to care.
