Lorraine was a great guide. She was friendly and professional ,really engaging and energetic. Definitely a wonderful face forward for Galway tourism. I wish her the best in her future endeavours. It’s clear she belongs in a people centric role. You are lucky to have her as an employee ambassador. Kind regards Grace OReilly
