Cork - University College

South of Cork Public Museum, beyond Western Road and the South Channel, is the University College (founded 1845), part of the National University of Ireland, with some 4,000 students. Many of the neo-Classical buildings are well preserved; particularly fine is the Jail Gate (1818). The Honan Chapel has beautiful stained glass by Sarah Purser's Tower of Glass Group and Harry Clarke. The college possesses interesting collections (e.g. of ogham stones and early prints of Cork) which can be seen by appointment.
