ÓMáilles is one of Irelands oldest
established clothing stores. The business was opened in March 1938
by Padraic OMaille and was located at Dominick Street in Galway
City.
Padraic and his brothers Stiofain and Sean and their sister Mary,
worked together in the family business, selling homespun yarns,
handwoven tweeds, and made-to-measure clothing.

Padraic OMaille became the first retailer in Ireland to trade
in Aran sweaters. He bought traditional sweaters from Aran Island
women who sold their wares on Saturdays at the Galway City open-air
market.
Our business continues to thrive 63 years later under the ownership
of Sean ÓMáilles son Ger and his wife
Anne.
