Helen MeliaSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Without spaces, reducing cost is not going to really make much of a difference.
Sally-Ann BarrettCORRESPONDENT
Melissa Kelly from nearby Mountbellew is currently on maternity leave, and for the mother of two, the funding of community childcare facilities in rural areas is a budget priority.
Melissa KellySOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
My eldest three-year-old has been on waiting lists since she was a couple months old, in several of the creches around the place, and they've all just told me, "No," they, they still have no availability for her.
Melissa KellySOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
The same then with my 12-week-old, told me they wouldn't have a place for him when he was a year old.
Will GriffithHOST
I should be winning.
Will GriffithHOST
But like, so for Mark and yourself, you know, going away to Mount Bellew where maybe your confidence levels aren't 100%, you're kind of thinking, well, I'm kind of like it's a shot to nothing here.
Will GriffithHOST
If I lose, I'm not expected to win.
Will GriffithHOST
And if I win, I'm amazing that everyone will love me.
Will GriffithHOST
Jeez, isn't that great? Golf's wonderful, isn't it? It's just...

You get that buzz, that confidence, that momentum of winning.
Will GriffithHOST

Will GriffithHOST
But still, you still have to go out and you have to play in a way, of course, you still have to go out and you have to beat the person in front of you.

Peter ConnollyGUEST
Whereabouts in Galway? So Mount Bellew, well, my uncle is living in Mount Bellew and it's around Mount Bellew that both of those are from.

Stephen JoyceGUEST
I'm su- no doubt about that.
PaulHOST
that.Will the big three be looking on now, Stephen, and thinking, I suppose, the longer Mountbellew-Molloy stay in this championship, the more dangerous they are? Because there's still a large majority of this 2021 county final winning team here, and they have that experience of getting over the line.
Stephen JoyceGUEST
They have indeed, yeah, and I suppose that extra game yesterday might have been a, a help to them, but they're ...
Stephen JoyceGUEST
I think they're up against Maycullen now.
Stephen JoyceGUEST
He's an excellent footballer and hopefully he will come on and be an excellent county player over the next number of years for Galway.
PaulHOST
I think every Galway football fan, Stephen, delighted to see Michael Daly back on the pitch.
PaulHOST
His, his first appearance since the 2023 county semifinal against Maycullen for Mountbellew-Molloy at the weekend.
Stephen JoyceGUEST
It is great to see him back.
