What is the main setting in the story collection, Young Skins?

The stories in this collection are set in Ireland. The author, Colin Barrett, grew up in Ireland, specifically in County Mayo. The stories occasionally make reference to taking place near the Atlantic Ocean, and since County Mayo is located on Ireland’s Atlantic coast, it is possible that these stories take place there. It is also possible that the town—or towns—in which the stories take place are based on the surroundings of Colin Barrett’s youth.
