The Connacht Sentinel has been published for the last time with the closure of the Connacht Tribune media group in Galway.
The paper has been a weekly Tuesday publication for 89 years, with its first edition coming out in 1925 when it was launched as a sister paper to the Connacht Tribune.
However, while the paper will no longer be published, it is understood that many of its features will continue to appear in the Galway City Tribune from next week.
Taoiseach To Seek Cross-Border Inquiry
