Donegal Tuesday falls on same day as Valentine’s

This year, Valentine’s fell on the same day as Donegal Tuesday, one of the biggest nights of the Galway RAG Week.

Given that the more dedicated RAG week-ers don their Donegal jerseys and start on the drink as early as 10 am,

Valentine’s coinciding with the event no doubt posed difficulties for Galway student couples wanting to celebrate both in equal measure!

It looks like everyone managed to keep the balance though; there were couples enjoying candlelit dinners in jerseys at the nearby Italian, and a couple of lads coming out of the shop with flowers as well as cans – I just hope no one missed out on the unique opportunity to mark the ‘dual occasion’ by gifting their partner the black and green jersey for “being a ‘keeper”.
