What else do you need to know? Be shown round some local artefacts by a fine worthy. A great way to while away half an hour. And the Kinsale giant!

I have been to Kinsale on numerous occasions and always wanted to visit the Museum but it has always been closed. However on St Patricks Day this year, it was open and I had my chance. The guides are so helpful and a wealth of knowledge, they really love showing you around and giving you information. Well worth a visit.
