St. Mary's Kilkenny

I was in Kilkenny this morning and walking my dog in a small little park and noticed that from the end of the park I had a full view of St. Mary's Cathedral and I wondered to myself whether tourists ever went into the park and had the same view as myself.
People always try to take photos from the front, but there, they have to take them from the street and then there are always cars parked in front of the cathedral and on the street and moving through so I don't think anyone can ever get a full view shot.

So, this is one. Admittedly, without the doors!

This is or was the workhouse hospital in Portlaoise. These days, I'm not sure what it is. Weddings are held in the civil office here so it is a government building. The old mental hospital is beside it and a church and then Portlaoise prison is across the road. Can't remember when I took this photo
