Publications
The Sligo Champion
Sligo's oldest surviving newspaper over 150 years old containing all the local news and events for the town and county of Sligo and local parts of the surrounding counties of Roscommon, Leitrim, Donegal and Mayo
There are three weekly newspapers in Sligo. If you're looking for entertainment listings, either the Champion or Weekender are fine, if you want to know what's the official business/political line on something local in Sligo, the Champion is required reading, the Post is hardly worth the price it's free.
The Sligo Post
This paper is quite new, and mostly contains a few sensationalised local stories, with the remainder of the paper taken up with advertising features, Etc. It's free, so you may as well get one, but the Champion or Weekender have better listings.
Sligo Weekender
For a paper called The Weekender, it comes out mid-week, but otherwise good entertainment listings
Crime is relatively low by most European standards but not very different. As with any sizeable town in Ireland, visitors and locals alike can feel intimidated by the large crowds hanging around outside fast food outlets, pubs and clubs, usually between the hours of midnight and 3:00AM on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights. These areas are generally well patrolled by GardaÃpolice, but best avoided, where possible.
If you need the emergency services GardaÃ, ambulance, fire service, coast guard or mountain rescue dial 999 or 112 from any phone.
religious services
There are places of worship all over the town; your hotel or Bed and Breakfast should be able to direct you to one nearby. If not, though, the following are centrally located in the town.
telephones
As elsewhere in Ireland, phone numbers in Sligo comprise an area code 071 and a local number 7 digits. All phone numbers shown in this guide display both the area code and the local number. When calling from a landline within the same area, you can ignore the area code, or leave it in, as you wish. If you are calling from another area within Ireland or from a mobile phone, you must use the area code. Likewise, if you are calling internationally, you must use the following format: Your international access code + 353 + 71 + the local number, i.e., you drop the 0 from the area code.
