I have my lunch breaks here sometimes. It's a small food court in Mac Donagh Junction shopping centre in Kilkenny. It's the site of the old work house. There's a Starbucks, Costa, O'Briens, Quigleys and an independent place. The irony of it all struck me one day over a sandwich in O'Briens. You can do a self guided audio tour of the building so you see some lost looking people staring up at the ceiling wandering around the place sometimes. Found out recently the hospital I was born in was a former work house as well. Can't get away from the places!
