Out West, she’s some distance from Galway (3)
I believe the answer is:
gal
'out west she's some' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'distance from galway' is the wordplay.
'distance' becomes 'way' (way is a kind of distance).
'from' suggests deleting specific letters.
'galway' with 'way' removed is 'GAL'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for gal that I've seen before include "US female" , "Girl from American west" , "miss" , "Young woman (colloq.)" , "An American girl, cowboy vintage" .)
