According to Royal Central “the whole visit has sparked a keen interest in Prince Charles to learn more about his past, with him requesting to spend time at many of the sites because of their link to his ancestry.”

On Thursday Charles and Camilla will attend a civic reception in Cork City Hall and visit the English Market, according to Clarence House’s itinerary. Seven years ago, Queen Elizabeth visited the famous Cork city market during her historic visit to Ireland.
