PEOPLE OF GALWAY; THIS IS CLÍONA

We’re having the chats with #PeopleofGalway for the craic — messers and chancers, artists and tourists, buskers and shopkeepers, and any other unwitting victims we meet on the street.

#ThisIsGalway “I really want to get published, but I don’t know if I’m entirely comfortable with the novel I wrote being published. I know my Mam would probably read it, and there are questionable things written about it it that I’m not sure she’d be to happy with. But I really like what I worked on because it discusses some of the problems of student life.

One of the things dealt with is the idea that students drink so much. If anybody drank as much as some students drank, they’d be called an alcoholic. I know people who won’t eat the week before RAG week to save money so they can buy more alcohol. There’s a drug culture, too. Pretending that it’s not happening isn’t working, so I feel we need to address it properly.”
