    If you are looking for things to do in Cork Sundays aren't the best. You might try the Cork Public Museum in Fitzgerald Park. I am pretty sure they are open for a little while on Sunday afternoons and it is a nice walk through the park.

    Or you could go to the Cork City Gaol museum on Sundays Well Road and then walk down to The Franciscan Well for some pints.

    If you are up for a short train ride you could go out to Midleton and go to the Jameson Distillary for a tour and whiskey tasting. There are also lots of cute restaurants in Midleton. There is one on the main street that has a funny red exterior and does not look like a lot from outside but the food is fantastic. You pass it walking from the train station to the distillary.

    Hope you are able to find something fun!

    Having been to Middleton on a Sunday before if there is anything you want to do do it early as the entire town seems to close at 5 if it opened at all.

    +1 James, went there 2 weeks ago to the Army surplus store on a Sunday, tried to spend some time there afterwards and see if anything else was worthwhile doing. Turns out the answer is no.

    Any date where I go to a distillery, partake in some whiskey tasting, and get a late lunch in Finíns, is a very good date indeed.

    What did you end up doing, OP?

    Go out to the Lough & feed the swans, walk around the lough having a chat, into the Hawthorn after! Keep it simple!

    Fota on the train might be an OK one too?

    I forgot to add a visit to Jackie Lennoxs after the lough! It doesn't get more Cork than that.
    Or if a bag of chips doesn't float his boat walk down to the Brick Oven restaurant by St Finbarre's cathedral for a pizza/pasta.
