Overall comments: Very nice toilets. There were three cubicles upstairs which were all unisex. All cubicles were fitted with sink and dryers. The toilets were a bit on the small side (OK for me but if slightly larger maneuverability could be tough). Also not good for any disabled patrons since all toilets upstairs and I didn't notice a lift. Overall very nice and well kept although I saw no checklist in either my cubicle or outside the toilets in general.

Not forgotten..

I havent forgotten about this but more for the fact that I dont have a digital camera.

I am trying to figure out how to get images from my camcorder to PC and then upload moving images of rank toilets...starting with Kent Station in Cork.

Im heading to Killarney this weekend so will be able to check Cork, Mallow and Killarney station toilets..
