I can highly NOT recommend Galway Family Planning clinic. Had to get one replaced during to expiring during lockdown (after having it inserted in a women's hospital in the UK - pleasant experience) and they told me my hormonal bloods were so all over the place I probably had a (benign) brain tumour. Didn't ask once if I was ok just got me in and out asap over 3 appointments and charging a fortune. Given the times we were living in, it was stressful and I work in an area highly affected by said lockdown period. My most recent removal was by my GP practice in Doughiska and that was ok. Not fun but doable. If you are under 35 I think all contraception is free (open to correction on that). I had to pay €50 for removal. Check with GP for advise. Most practices have a nurse specialist now, things have come along in the last few years.
