Getting there
About this meeting
The Kinsale Red Cross Centre on Butchers Row hosts an open Alcoholics Anonymous meeting every Sunday evening at 8.30pm. Being open, it welcomes anyone with an interest in AA, including family members, friends, or professionals wanting to understand more about the fellowship, not only those with a desire to stop drinking themselves. The meeting follows AA's usual format, with members sharing their own experiences and reading from the literature, offering visitors a genuine sense of how a meeting works. Kinsale is a popular coastal town in Co. Cork, and this Sunday evening slot gives both locals and visitors a chance to attend. There is no cost involved and no need to book ahead, with the group supported entirely by voluntary donations from those who attend.
