People

The people of Claregalway are the making of the Parish.  There are many great characters over the years both born and associated with the area. People with all kinds of backgrounds have shaped the story of Claregalway.
This section on people where additions and updates will be ongoing as new information, stories and photographs come to hand. If you know someone whom you would like to see featured here and have photographs and information then just submit everything to the site webmaster. On the other hand if you have extra information on anybody featured here that we do not have then we would love to hear from you. Anybody can be featured here that has or had connections with the parish or made a contribution to the social structure and heritage of the parish.
We would gratefully welcome any contributions or suggestions.
