Getting there
About this meeting
The Rutland Street group meets on Thursday evenings at 6pm in the South Parish community centre, on Cork's south side. Aimed at beginners, this closed AA meeting is for people with a desire to stop drinking rather than the general public. Wheelchair access at the venue has not been confirmed. There is no charge and no need to book, as with every Alcoholics Anonymous meeting. The beginner focus makes it a natural first stop for anyone newly arrived at AA in this part of the city. As with every AA meeting, it is self-supporting and organised entirely by its own members rather than any outside body.

Can I find out about accessibility before I go?
No accessibility details have been supplied for the South Parish community centre. It would be sensible to ask ahead if step-free access is important to you.
