UPDATE: The search for the missing Claddagh Watch flags, which were taken from O’Brien’s Bridge in Galway City, continues with no leads. The flags, representing the voluntary waterways patrol group, vanished amidst a public appeal and ongoing discussions with local authorities.

The Galway City Council and Gardaí have been engaged in the investigation, yet the trail remains cold. Local residents and supporters of Claddagh Watch are urged to come forward with any information that may assist in recovering the missing flags.

The emotional impact of this incident resonates deeply within the community, as the Claddagh Watch flags symbolize not just local pride but also the commitment of volunteers dedicated to maintaining the safety of Galway’s waterways.

As this story develops, residents are encouraged to stay alert and report any sightings or information regarding the missing flags. The community’s support can play a crucial role in this ongoing investigation.
