  • Exploring Spatial Aspects of Quality of Life in Galway City, Ireland
    F. Fahy & M. Ó Cinnéide, Int. J. Sus. Dev. Plann. Vol. 3, No. 1 (2008) 29–44 THE REALITY OF THE LOCALITY: EXPLORING SPATIAL ASPECTS OF QUALITY OF LIFE IN GALWAY CITY, IRELAND F. FAHY & M. Ó CINNÉIDE Department of Geography, National University of Ireland, Galway, Ireland. ABSTRACT Quality of life is increasingly recognised as a vital component of sustainable urban development. Indicators are used to assess quality of life and to monitor progress towards sustainability over time. An emerging body of literature contends that these indicators need to be derived in close consultation with target populations in order to optimise the extent to which they capture the real determinants of quality of life in particular places. Furthermore, quality of life considerations vary signifi cantly across urban neighbourhoods and consequently the spatial scale at which such studies are conducted may have signifi cant implications for the results obtained. This study focuses on spatial variations in quality of life in Galway, a city of approximately 70,000 people, situated on the west coast of Ireland. Galway is reported as having an exceptionally high quality of life, how- ever, signifi cant variations are found to exist across city neighbourhoods. Factors contributing to this spatial pattern are explored in this paper. An important lesson emerging from this study is that quality of life indicators derived at the neighbourhood level are of utmost importance when assessing the reality of living in different urban settings. Keywords: Ireland, quality of life indicators, scale, sustainable urban communities. 1 INTRODUCTION Economic growth and development have taken place at an unprecedented rate in the Republic of Ireland, over the past decade or so.

During part of the year 1916 that I was away from school, a young teacher from Spiddal, Seoirse Ó Flaharta, just out of training, acted as substitute in Furbough school. When I returned, I took up duty there again, but the Board of Education refused to recognise me, and requested the Manager, Fr. Lally, to have a teacher appointed in my place. This, he refused to do, though he was not particularly nationally minded, but the clergy of Galway, on the whole, were very strong on the point. Then the National Board withdrew recognition entirely from the school, and refused to pay the salary of the assistant, as well as my own. The Irish National Teachers' Organisation took the matter up, and paid us both grade salary for the period of non-recognition, which extended to April, 1920. In the month of February, 1917, at four o'clock in the morning, we were all awakened by a loud knocking on the door, together with an order to get up at once. My mother opened the door, and in trooped a number of R.I.C.
