"Here, the government kept Irish rebels during the Irish War of Independence and Civil War. One inmate was none other than Constance Markievicz, the revolutionary nationalist who acted as second in command at St Stephen’s Green during the 1916 Easter Rising. Now a museum, the gaol is one of the city’s most unique points of interest."

"The imposing Georgian property that now houses the Cork Public Museum was originally built in 1845 by the Beamish family – of brewing fame and fortune – in an area then termed ‘the shrubberies’. In the grounds of the sprawling Fitzgerald Park, this building was purchased by the city corporation for the Cork International Exhibition in 1902 and 1903. The museum holds an impressively diverse range of artefacts, from aesthetics including Cork silver and 18th-century costumes to a rich selection of displays on different aspects of the Irish resistance and path to independence."

"We've seen lots of action happening at Dwyers - which already went to great lengths to cater for outdoor drinking and dining last summer. The team there have been very, very busy in recent days, putting in a purpose-built platform that will provide the base for seats and tables down one side of this big pub. There'll be a good menu, lots of space, room for walk-ins and thanks to that platform, no rickety tables!"

"Located on the leafy grounds of University College Cork, at its main entrance on Western Road, this sleek gallery was unveiled in 2004 to critical acclaim, winning a tranche of awards for the Irish architecture firm O’Donnell + Tuomey, who designed it. Boasting three floors of exhibition space in a swish concrete-and-glass building, the gallery hosts three temporary exhibitions each year. The gallery’s mission is to support the research, creation and exploration of the visual arts, and it offers a genuinely fresh perspective on contemporary works from Ireland and beyond."

Completed by O’Donnell & Tuomey Architects in 2004 and named Best Public Building by the Royal Institute of Architects the following year, the building is a remarkable frame for the art on show.
