I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'irish girl' is the definition.
'Siobhan' can be an answer for 'girl'. I'm unsure of the 'irish' bit.

'hospital in bosnia with convulsions' is the wordplay.
'hospital' becomes 'H' (abbreviation for hospital on maps).
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'with convulsions' indicates anagramming the letters.
'bosnia' is an anagram of 'sioban'.
'h' inserted inside 'sioban' is 'SIOBHAN'.

'in' is the link.
