James | CHARACTERS OF GALWAY |  

My Granny, Hannah Burke Dooley lived in St Joseph's Avenue and the Ó Toole's ran a great shop, with the old fashioned three sided counters. I loved running in there as a child, after lunch, buying sweeties and scuttling up Raleigh Row with my sister Verran to run back up to Taylors Hill. The West is the best. Well done Toolers!

I am really enjoying these interviews a lot of what he said I heard from my mum and dad. Dad was from Woodquay and mum was from The Claddagh and eventually lived in Henry street. My dads parents ended up in Mervue when it was first constructed.

James, that was a great interview, as only u can do, straight from the hip,and proud to have known you , a very kind man also, who helped a lot of People,

A Galway legend

Great To Hear James o Toole Would Agree With Him Lovly To Listen To Him And Thanks For Showing it God Bless Up The West

Yep James is the real deal , what you see is what you get . An amazing Poet and Story teller . Heard a whisper some where that he is going to learn to play the Saxophone , no doubt he will master that as he has done with his love of Poetry . 🎷

Fantastic Interview! Love this series so much! Eagerly waiting on every upload!

1:01 brilliant toolers👏

There is such thing as a Galway accent and this guy has it. For me, textbook.

Great interview James. Well done.

Another great one Matt !!
