I've never been to Galway, but I'm hoping to explore it on my next trip to Ireland (this spring if all goes well). My novels take place just south of there in Clare, so it should be an easy trip up to Galway. <br /><br />I need to figure out who to talk to about psych hospitals and all thing health care related.Lisa Alberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12591430453957883948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3529128955266044151.post-72128376873311781642015-08-19T08:20:40.930-04:002015-08-19T08:20:40.930-04:00Hello Lisa!

Such a great experience. I took a class with the Irish author Mike McCormack who wrote the novel "Notes from a Coma" that was a great read you might like.<br /><br />As a nurse I love your list of research topics! Would make a great evening on the net or a great month in Ireland's psych hospitals!Donna OShaughnessyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08266654110280149719noreply@blogger.com
