Galway – The county town of the same name is distant from Dublin by the Athenry Road 102 miles. This ancient town is advantageously located 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 over 30 miles into the country.
The merchants carried on an extensive commerce with France and Spain, particularly in wine and brandy. They supplied all Connacht, Leinster and part of Munster and even had their stores and vaults at Athboy in the county of Meath, the remains of which may still be seen.
The shops of Galway are plentiful, stored with these articles which vanity requires or necessity demands. Course woollen clothes are manufactured here but not on an extensive scale as the capitalists have yet embarked in this speculation. The manufacture of linens though, just 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, hard and industrious population. Here is also an extensive salmon fishery and great quantities of eels are taken at the proper season. The fish and vegetable markets are plentiful supplied, particularly with veal, kid and lamb.
A new corn-market is erecting in Eyre-Square, which when finished, will be of great utility to the town. .. 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 at Bridge-Street by Mr William Murphy.
In 1822 a savings bank was established as well as a reproductive loan fund, which is an essential service to the industrious poor…there is an extension of this privilege to weavers who manufacture their own cloth.
There are two market days; Wednesday and Saturday and two fairs; on the 31st of May and the 4th of September.
