In Cork city, you might also want to check out the Lobby Bar.
Not really for sessions, but for small concerts (they charge you!).
Some very good gigs there.
This is their website.

Thanks very much Letty,
Yes we will be travelling a good deal, we are taking my missus's
parents on a whistle stop tour for them to go back to their roots!
whereas i'm taking my instruments for a jolly good busk/play.

There were (are?) sessions in the Sin é pub on Coburg Street on ... Sundays and Tuesdays, I think. There are also a couple of good shops (CDs, instruments) in McCurtain Street, which is kind of the same street but changes it's name at the intersection with Patrick Street / St. Patrick's Hill.

There are great sessions in Ennis every night of the week, just
ask in Custy's music shop for whats on each night.
