Galway house hunting for sound people" is a good Facebook page for getting accommodation in Galway if you aren't from the area; note that it's very hard to get accommodation in Galway (but not impossible) and it's expensive. Try swap with a doctor leaving in July. Traffic is awful and parking can be hard to get at hospital if you arrive after 8am. A bike and some rain gear is a good option. Great teaching, eases you into internship, great networking opportunities and good team environment.
