County Galway is located on the west coast of the Isle ofIreland in the province of Connacht. He is known for his magnificent landscapes. It includes one of Ireland's largest freshwater lakes, Lough Corrib. The West of Ireland being where the use ofIrish has persevered the most, County Galway is where it is used the most on a daily basis. The county name in Irish is Gaillimh which is derived from gaill meaning "foreigners". It is therefore ironic that today the county is where the Irish language and culture has survived best.
