    where would you be coming from?

    They've taken what I would consider the "back road" to get there - it'd be easier to head come off the Dunkettle roundabout, through Glanmire village, through the traffic lights, turn right past Hazelbrook shopping centre, straight on to the roundabout, 3rd exit (turning right), take the left marked for Orchard Warehouses/Knockraha. Then follow that road and you're about 16 pictures into their directions.

    I've no idea after that :)

    charge for a muddy yard full of old buses? I'd think not. I think you might be disappointed in this "museum"

    That website is terrifying, and the other ones he does are worse. Bonkers, wouldn't go near the place.

    Is the man behind the museum even alive still? A quick google on the museum would suggest that he isn't.

    He has gone quite since an apparent arson attack and destruction of at least some of his buses.

    OP you may as well go to Pouladuff Dismantlers if you want to see old vehicles. Kells at this stage must be a mucky yard with rusty buses. Which is a pity.
