Passage West, seaport and watering-place
on the west shore of the Lee estuary, opposite Great Island,
parishes of Marmullane and Monkstown (q.v.), South county Cork,
Ireland, 7 miles east-south-east of Cork. The town comprises one
principal street, extending along the shore for nearly a mile, with
small streets and lanes diverging from it, to which there is a
ferry to Queenstown, and the traffic during the summer months is
very great. There are Catholic and Protestant churches and schools
and a dispensary. The interesting character of the scenery, the
varied and delightful views over the river and the islands, and its
general salubrity, have combined to render Passage highly desirable
as a place of permanent residence, and attractive during the summer
for the fine air and sea-bathing.
Population: 623 *
