Need some info on Irish culture?
This is for a story…I’ve been looking over the internet, but I just can’t seem to find what I need. If anyone has any input that might be of use I greatly appreciate it.
I need some info on:
– the lives and treatment of people with mental handicaps (specifically Angelman Syndrome “Happy Puppet Syndrome”)
– modern Irish police force (including required school and training)
– common drug usage and prostitution (still Ireland)
– interesting small town settings (Ireland again)
– any other useful information pertaining to Irish culture (especially that which is foreign to U.S. culture)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Any and all answers are appreciated to *any* or all of these topics.
Thank y’all so much,
~AnA~
