BTW, like many parts of the world where net access is hard to find, internet cafes -- ie. dedicated rooms of PCs -- are plentiful however. A little pricey though. So web access is not really much of a problem -- but I wouldn't bother bringing a laptop. Might as well plug Ireland Offline, the pressure group to deal with the crappy net situation at home.

I work in the university in Cork and while the connections here at work are great, domestic internet access is... well, like something from the last century. How we have a reputation as being on the cutting edge of the information age I do not know. Your fellow CT blogger Kieran J. Healy is of course from Cork, and while that's not usually something that we would advertise to potential tourists, it does provide us (you and I) with what in Ireland counts as a viable social link, so if you're going to be lost in Cork during your visit, feel free to drop me a line.
