Galway farmers warned about con man
Galway bay fm newsroom – Farmers in Galway are being warned about a scam artist who is going around pretending to be a ‘bona fide’ seller of farm equipment.
It’s understood this man has already stolen up to 100 thousand euro from unsuspecting farmers in other parts of the country.
He operates by approaching farmers offering to sell machinery or materials at a good price, but eventually leaves the farmer out of pocket.
It’s believed the fraudster is now operating at shows in the Galway and Mayo areas.
A man in his 20’s has died after a crash on the N63 this afternoon.
The single vehicle collision happened on the N63 between Newbridge and Ballygar at approximately 12.45pm.
The passenger in the car was pronounced dead at the scene.
His body has been taken to Portiuncula University Hospital where a post-mortem will take place.
The driver, also in his 20’s, was taken to hospital where he is receiving medical attention.
The road remains closed and gardai are appealing for witnesses to contact them.
Anyone with any information in relation to this incident is asked to contact Ballinasloe Garda Station on 090 963 1890, the Garda Confidential Line on 1800 666 111 or any Garda station.

Protest is held at The Skerritt Roundabout over dangerous conditions for cyclists and pedestrians in the city
A group of approximately forty campaigners have been protesting at The Skerritt roundabout near ATU Galway over dangerous conditions that exist for cyclists and pedestrians on the streets of Galway.
The Sunday4Safety group, who also run demonstrations in Salthill, set up a pop-up pedestrian crossing at the roundabout.
Skerritt Roundabout was chosen as the location after a cyclist was seriously injured in a collision with a truck last month.
The group said that the extremely dangerous conditions for cyclists and pedestrians are replicated at many other roundabouts across the city.
Organiser Grainne Faller told John Mulligan that decision makers need to factor in safety when it comes to road and street design in Galway.
