Portacabin behind St. Brendan's Church
About this meeting
Bantry 1 meets on Thursday evenings at 20:30 in the Ian Connor Room, a portacabin standing behind St Brendan's Church on Wolf Tone Square. The unusual venue description reflects the practical, low-key setting many rural Irish AA groups use rather than a purpose-built hall. As a members meeting, attendance is intended for those who already have a desire to stop drinking rather than for visitors wanting a general introduction to AA. No particular format or theme has been recorded for this session, suggesting it follows the group's usual open discussion pattern. Wheelchair access to the portacabin has not been confirmed, so anyone with mobility needs should contact the group ahead of time to check.
