| Annie, you could start him with "A Potted History of Ireland"
by our own Mike "An Nathair" Hughes. Look at note #277.

| 835.2 | Totally awesome "Snake" | HYEND::PALM | | Tue Nov 27 1990 15:58 | 6 |
| Totally AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for reminding me it was there. I don't seem to be able to
forward it to myself for printing. Is it's because it's so long
and I may not have the storage blocks? I'll try forwarding to
my other account.

| re: Note # 277
Was finally able to print off the Potted History of Ireland and will
send it off to Northeastern U. today. Thanks for pointing it out.
Any other suggestions out there?

Annie,
..I'm sorry not to be able to give you the direct author of this book
but I'm sure someone else will. Its a History book called
"Ireland since the Famine". Its written by a pretty famous Prof. from
Trinity College in Dublin ( died a few years ago). Twig anybodies
memory?????
Its quite heavy reading. I'll check out a few more from a history
teacher I know in Dublin. Is your friend going to take a specific
period of Irish history or keep it general?
I wouldn't think there is much problem getting work as a pharmacist. I
believe there is only one degree course offered in Ireland and thus
a limited number graduate every year....
slainte,
Mick

| Thanks for the book info...will sent it on to Neil (my son Glenn's
room-mate at NU) I believe he will be taking a course that is general
history/culture. Hope this helps him Glenn wants to keep him around
for St. Patrick's day in Boston. (Oh, to be young again)!
Neil, goes over to Ireland quite often and has many relatives there
maybe they can mail him the books if he really gets into it.
Thanks again,
Annie O'

| Try "A short history of Ireland" by Beckett - written from a
slightly different bias than the Snake's

| I would advise checking carefully the employment
opportunities for pharmacists. Firstly, I think it
is very much a closed shop. Pharmacists are licenced
in some way, though I'm not sure how it works, but
apparently it is quite difficult to get admitted.
Also in Ireland anything remotely connected with
the medical profession has an oversupply problem.
About half of all doctors and nurses trained in
Ireland have to emmigrate. I saw a letter in a
newspaper some time ago from a lady pharmacist
who had emmigrated to Florida and tried to get
work there. She was told she could only work as
a pharmicist in Florida if she was a US citizen.
However, the local citizenship classes were conducted
entirely in Spanish, which she didn't speak!

| RE: 835.8 - Pharmacists in Ireland
Will pass this on to our erstwhile pharmacy student. I think his
parents want him to go over there when he's finished. Neil on the
other hand I think wants to stay in the US of A.
