Capt Steve,

Suggest parking well off-site, and treating yourself to a return-taxi back to a good pub (car park).
No need to be reticently Welch.  Beat the "Irish" at the game, once again!

What a good idea


Yes we were robbed....as I stood up looking down.....straining to see....waving me scarf....
I couldn't work out why the wee man in red had the ball...alas all was lost.

There is a bus stop right outside the PRONI TQ office:

or

Also a number of buses stop outside the Albert Clock which is about ten minutes away from Odyssey.

If you want to go by train, then Bridge End is ten minutes from the Odyssey or 20 minutes from Central.

The nearest car park is the Odyssey though there is also parking opposite the Drawing Rooms.

Capt Steve,

Sadly GAULT's shebeen in Kingsmoss is (apparently?) no more ....

Luckily a warm welcome in a unique lasting-to-the-present-day near-bus-stop alternative is conveniently to hand,

Good to see your lights shining once more.
Thought we'd lost you overboard!

Hi

This page has been up dated with new information about parking.
http://www.proni.gov.uk/index/visiting_proni/getting_here.htm

There seems to be a FREE carpark about 5 minutes walk from PRONI opposite the Harland & Wolff drawing offices. see map in the link below.

Otherwise its paying at the Odyssey at the cheapest £3 per day.

Well, at least that's good news. Now, would be interested to know what the cafe is like (at least I hope there's somewhere to get a bite to eat, cup of tea, etc.- and hopefully much, much better than the last meal I had at the old site)...

Hi all,

I was at PRONI on Tuesday, the day before it reopened to the public, and managed to take many photos as well as a short video on the new premises, which are truly stunning.

My blog post at http://scottishancestry.blogspot.com/2011/03/welcome-to-21st-century-proni.html contains about 15 images and a run down, whilst another post at http://scottishancestry.blogspot.com/2011/03/new-proni-search-room-in-belfast.html contains a video in the new search room, with PRONI's Stephen Scarth giving me a description of what's on offer.

Hope it might be of interest!
