A budget way of reaching Galway is via a company called Citylink.
They operate directly from the arirport. If you walk over the road from departures and through the multistory carpark / shopping arcade you will find a signpost to the coachstop.
They run about every hour and take about four hours. The traffic is however a big factor and can add a couple of hours to the journey.
It works out about the same as Bus Eireaan (unless you are using an Ireland bus pass type ticket) and much cheaper than the train.
The drawback is that Bus Eireann operate from the centre of Dublin (Busaras) so you have to get there first - see airport tip on Dublin from Sourbugger.
In fact by taking a local bus to Dublin first (1.60 Euro) and then picking up citylink from the city centre you will save about 7 Euro.
You can always visit Dublin on the way back.
Also try Bus Nestor who have a similar service.

There´s an airport on Galway but on autuum there´s not fly to Málaga. The nearest airport where you can arrive is on Shannon airport. With ryanair you can fly from Málaga to Shannon and from there take the bus to Galway.

There is a very useful service run by Feda o Donnell coaches of Donegal.
It's a service mainly aimed at students, but is useful to the budget tourist. They usually leave morning and afternoon from Galway, but check their exact departure point and time on the website, and ring them.
It takes over five hours to get all the way up to Gweedore, but you could use the service up to Donegal town where there are a number of other connections that can be made.
