She said: "I felt good out there.
"The first aim was just to make the semi-final. So it's my first time in championships to actually make the next round.
"I will speak to my coach now to see what the plan is for tomorrow."
Galligan was a late call-up to the Ireland squad, which meant her coach, David Farrow, was unable to join her in Gothenburg.
Also through to Saturday's semi-finals are Great Britain's Jennifer Meadows who ran her heat in a time of 2.02.88.
