It extends from Lough Corrib across to Merlin Park by the old Galway-Dublin road. The annual Galway Races are held at Ballybrit Racecourse in Castlegar Parish. Irish languageThe Castlegar ED has a population of 1,000 and 11% are Irish speakers.[1] HistoryThe name Castlegar is derived from the Irish words Caisleán Gearr, which means "Short Castle". The small Castlegar Castle, in the middle of the parish, was a guest or "short stay" castle for the Blake family's Menlo Castle. Because there were so many castles in the parish, the distance between them was very short, so some have suggested that this could be an alternative source of the name. Parts of the parish, most notably Carrabrowne, Ballindooley and Menlo, were until recently,{{When|date=April 2017}} strongholds of the Irish language. But with recent{{When|date=April 2017}} development of the area, and the influx of non-native speakers, the use of Irish is very much reduced. Emigrants from Ireland went to British Columbia and named a place there after it:Castlegar, British Columbia. Castles
