Just okay

I know it’s unfair to compare this to other jail tours in Ireland but it’s really hard not to. The architecture was gorgeous but the history was all quite surface level. I do appreciate them trying something different in tackling the stories of the jail and its prisoners.

Worth a look.

Went to see that Gaol it's worth a look, it was €12 per adult and €7.50 for child, it was nice to see a part of history of Cork, staff were friendly and the place is well looked after.
