I worked on the graphic design of this survey. We stared in 84 and I had the privilege of managing about 30 others content through snail mail. One of the longest jobs of my life. I’m not sure the document had the interest / significance Galway hoped for.

Sadly I don't think Irish people have been good at attaching value to their heritage. Do you know if the work you all did saved any medieval buildings from being turned into carparks! Carparks!

My Story of Ancient Galway City Some years ago when carrying out some work for Holland & Holland gun company who produces some of the very finest and most expensive sporting hunting shotguns in the world, its old directing manager the great Freddy Griffith Jones was retiring and he introduced me to the new man in charge Henry Blosse Lynch all were British army people, As I got to know Henry better he told me that he was a direct decent of the Lynch family, . In 1493 James Lynch Fitzstephen, then mayor of Galway, hanged his own son for the murder of a Spanish merchant, the story left me in a bit shocked, I wished that he never told me that fact about his family history. A little later Henry Blossy Lynch showed me the details of his family home outside Cong Co Mayo, called Partry House, with gatehouse, 1,500 acres 5 or7 lakes and islands with shooting rights all for £300,000.00. Henry did his very best to get me to buy this place but there was a recession on and so I never did go to the bank to get a loan to buy this fine place and this is my explanation of never owning a mansion house with vast amount of land

There is zero evidence of the mayor hanging his son. First evidence of that story comes two hundred years after it allegedly happened. And Lynch is a very common surname, I'm guessing the person claiming he's an ancestor is American.

⁠@@jamesbradshaw3389is the Lynch house in Galway where the son was hung the same house that has a stone monkey on it? It’s a beautiful house on a beautiful street with plenty of talented buskers.

One has to ponder why has Irish history been so suppressed and systematically destroyed

Yes, it's the only word, I heard. If you have no interest in Archaeology, she thought one is uneducated.

Any books and maps that have resulted from this survey would be available at the Hardiman Library at University of Galway. The staff are very helpful and you don't need to be a student as far as I'm aware. (Unless there's exams on)
