I haven’t been there cork for a number of years, cannot advise any punting tips unfortunately (I tend to stay away from Irish girls anyway)
General advice..
Skibereen is beautiful for a day trip.
You might enjoy watching the new BBC3 series ‘Young offenders’ or the original 2017 movie before visiting.
Don’t fly with that O’Leary wanker.
Sorry I can’t be of more help, hope you have a grand trip.
