Map of St. Angela's a very good pictural map of the college buildings. It might be an idea to print it off and take it with you if you have never been to the college.

The Irish government and tourism authorities would hate to deny you an authentic Irish experience by putting up proper sign postings.

Sure, if they put up signs you wouldn't have to stop and ask would you?

Anyway "You can't miss it."
