I love this shop as it is very spacious and well laid out. The store is large, with 2 floors. The ground floor has general clothes, and ladies and childrens fashion in particular, and the second floor has shoes, homeware and mens fashion. Like all primark stores, the prices are low, and you can easily spend a great deal of money there in a very short time! The staff are helpful, and always on hand, the shelves are well stocked and there are few queues. It is located in the centre of the town, and is easily accessible. If you are a fan of penneys, this branch will definitely appeal to you.

Being the biggest and best place to shop in the small town of Newport Sheridans (Centra) have an…read moreopportunity to gouge every tourist who walks into the place, but happily they don't. Instead they offer a huge selection of pretty much anything a local or tourist alike might need (food, wine, cleaning products etc...) and at reasonable prices. Newport has two of the finest butchers in the land (Keanes and Kellys) but they can be expensive, Sheridans has a very respectable fresh meat & fish counter and the quality is pretty good for the most part - certainly for BBQ the produce is perfect!

I had never seen this shirt anywhere in any of the cities I had visited. I never even saw this shirt at the Guinness storehouse! Unfortunately, they did not carry all sizes, but the lady working this store was nice enough to call another Fallers store to check the size for us. The lady requested for the other store to hold that size for us. We thought that was so nice! Fallers also has good sale prices. The store sells everything from clothes (adults and children), to cups, to umbrellas, to toys, etc. A good go to place for gifts. I forgot to mention that Fallers has a small fitting area so you can try on the clothes before buying!

Those pubs that survived up until the missing 2000s have continued with the welcome addition of a couple of takeaways, an ice cream parlour, great cafes and most recently, a half decent gift shop in the form of Parade. When I visited Parade was only 5 days open and already showing signs of becoming a focus for tourists. They have it all, knitwear, home ware, a small coffee shop, some books, local arts and crafts and a selection of local honeys (as in stuff made by bees, not girls answering to a pimp). Wifey told me there was fishing tackle there as well but I couldn't see it. like I said, a great and most welcome addition to Newport!

She happens to also work at a shop that sells the necklace and told my friend and I where we can get one. She even called the store for us and let us know there was only one in stock in sliver, hers that I liked was in gold. We walked over to the shop and ended up spending more time in there than we thought! Such beautiful jewelry! I almost changed my mind to a different necklace that said "Success" on it, but ended up going back to my original compass necklace which is what brought us there. My friend and I tried on various different pieces and really we could've spent all of our money here! Needless to say about 400 euro later between the two of us, we left. And she said that she would ship the compass necklace to me since I wanted gold and it wasn't at the store at the time. How fantastic! I was so happy that I could get what I wanted and I'll be eagerly awaiting it in the mail. It's important that I mention this is really a local flavor shop as everything inside is made by Ireland artisans. It's great to get authentic things while traveling rather than items that aren't made from the local area. And that it also supports those locals by spending money on their items. The doggie there is funny, kind of a ornery old bat but still sweet, she'd bark if she heard kids outside. You'd think it's fine as long as they weren't in the store but nope, keep it quiet kids! I pet her several times, so she was also very sweet. Stop in the store while in Galway! Pick up some small art, nicknacks, and especially some jewelry!!
