Busking in Cork

Sup.

Just wondering if anyone has any advice on busking in Cork City. There was a thread on this before but it's gone dead and didn't give too much information.
There's two of, both eighteen, and we fancy doing it for the laugh and hopefully to earn a little bit of spare money while we're in college.
Any bit of advice will be appreciated greatly.

Thanks!

Bit more info on your act?

Slugs, thanks for replying so soon.
The act would involve the two of us or me on my own performing indie, pop punk and alt-rock covers on acoustic guitars, with myself taking care of the majority of the vocals. I'd like to throw the odd one or two of my own pieces into the mix too. We'd stick to soft songs and lighter, more lively stuff too. And as always we'd use a few generic songs too that everyone would recognise.
I can't think of anything else to add to that at the minute so if you need to know more.. Don't hesitate to ask.
