When I came home, I said I had nothing to lose, throw everything at it and see what happens. I had a new mindset, I didn’t really care what people thought anymore,” she explains.When talking about dating in rural Ireland and where to meet people Doireann advises that you just need to put yourself out there.“People just need to talk to people more in real life,” says Doireann.
