National Heritage Week is one of Ireland’s largest cultural events. It brings together communities and cultural institutions, academics and enthusiasts, to build awareness about the value of heritage and support its conservation.

Galway City Museum is delighted to receive a collection of objects from local man Tommy Holohan. These objects belonged to Tommy’s grandmother Nan (Anne) O’Toole, a fishwife, and his grandfather, Michael O’Toole, a Claddagh fisherman, who lived with their family in a cottage at Rope Walk, Claddagh, Galway.
