Tuam/Mill Town Blue Pig Bar
« on: Wednesday 01 February 17 17:38 GMT (UK) »
Hi All, my dad always told us that his dad was born in the Blue Pig Bar/Pub in either Tuam or Mill Town. I've tried to find this online but no luck. As I'm hopefully in Galway this summer, I thought it would be nice if this does or did exist to see it.....
Has anyone heard of it?

thanks
