Typical Ireland, outside of Dublin the mental health services are just woeful. It reminded me of my first visit to an emergency room outside of Dublin where I was in a bad psychotic state that I barely remember and my parents where demanding that I be sent to a psych hospital. I was seen by a nurse not a doctor and told to go home, where I ended up doing serious damage to myself. I still barely remember the details but my parents told me of how bad I was and how unsympathetic the nurse was when she spoke to me for all of 5 minutes to come up with her decision to send me home and not be assessed by a pdoc.
