We are located to the right hand side of St. Joseph’s College (The Bish) – please see which is very near the Cathedral. If stuck, ask anyone for directions to the The Bish and you will get to the right place! It is best to park in the Cathedral car park (€4 for the day) and we are a 3 minute walk from there. Alternatively, The Bish is usually open for parking also on a Saturday at a cost of €1.50 per hour.
