Douglas shopping centre - the tesco one - definetely has it for free,
I remember seeing a WIFI sticker in the coffee shop - Gloria Jean? - on Patrick street.
Cork Airport has it - I think you have to pay
O Briens sandwich bars have it as well, not sure if you have to pay here either.
Maybe some of the businesses like coffee shops give a WIFI token if you buy their merchandise - coffee shops would be a good example

You have to pay for the one in the airport. But both of the shopping centres in Douglas have it for free, I don't know about Mahon Point.

Sephiroth_dude · 26-06-2008 08:20AM

Cheers for that lads :-).

I'm nearly certain that Mahon Point has free wi-fi.. And wilton is free but you need to get some password from the reception/info desk person (i think...)

Is there not one by the courthouse? you always see tonnes of people there with their laptops out...

Cant confirm this though, they might be just using MS paint. :pac:

I think there is,there is a telephone box on that street just a bit up from it and I'm pretty certain it says there is free WiFi for 50m.I could be wrong though...

It does, but its only for students and they have to add the mac address of the device in the college for it to work .

The best place is the Souths bar in South Mall in the Imperial hotel. Order your pint or coffee & enjoy the surfing.

The Franciscan Well has free Wifi too. Great beer and free wifi, the perfect pub!

Brian · 20-10-2008 10:19PM

There is free WiFi on the courthouse steps, I've used it. There also free WiFi in Fitzgerald's park, near enough to the entrance.

Excellent.

MunsterCycling · 21-10-2008 08:51PM

Would this be one main reason for it being used for Boards Beers? The Well I mean

badlyparkedmerc · 21-10-2008 08:53PM

Not sure if Douglas shopping center still has free wifi, passed through there yesterday and saw nobody using a laptop (usually would be several people) and also a new pay internet terminal installed - can't imagine whoever paid for the terminal to be installed would be too happy about free competition.

Sephiroth_dude · 22-10-2008 10:43AM

its works by the court house,but i found it very slow.

Seanot · 22-10-2008 01:25PM

Most Hotels have free wifi ....you can sit in there bar and surf away !!:)
