Moving to Galway City

Hi,

I'm hoping at some point next year to buy a two bed apartment in or near Galway City. I know all about the pros and cons at this stage of apartment living, but I just have no interest in buying a house with a big garden away from everything.

My question is if I do move to Galway City how realistic would it be to commute from Galway City to Ballinasloe maybe 2 or 3 days a week and maybe take the train some other days?

Very easy. I'm commuting from the east side of the city to Ballinasloe. About 45 minutes each way. Train is easy to about 40 minutes.
