Cork County Hall
Cork County Hall is a 17-story administrative building located on Carrigrohane Road. It serves as the seat of the Cork County Council. Travelers typically visit the site to view one of the city's most prominent landmark structures, as it was the tallest building in Ireland upon its completion.
