    Anyone know the good bars/nights in the area for Mary I students in Limerick?

    Anybody know if there's plan to renovate or hopefully level the library building?
    It's an awful building, inside and out.

    They've been doing a lot of work on the inside, but I doubt they'll do anything cosmetic outside.

    A question I've answered a few times now, and this is why a mega thread is a bad idea :P I'll see can I find the answer

    I can't imagine that building ever being modern or perceived as pleasing on the eye. Apparently, when it was built, it won an award for the best architectural design in the country (or something like that) and it was seen as "cutting edge!"

    Just to let you know that extension of the Library building is the next phase of development in Mary I.

    On a separate note, we have also contacted admin about setting up a Mary I forum but have yet to hear back.

    The chances of that happening are extremely tbh. Funding aint going to come from the government any time soon.

    Is it true that the Library is a listed building (ie it can't be knocked) ?

    The library always reminds me of a giant sticklebrick.

    Funding will eventually come, like every other major building project in Ireland but obviously with the way things are, it may take longer than we want. At least it's happening though so we will eventually have a bigger library. Saying that, St. Pats were recently granted money for the construction of a new building on campus, so it may be sooner rather than later.

    And no, the library building is not a listed building. At the moment, no building in Mary I is "listed".

    I'm surprised that the Foundation Building isn't listed tbh.

    It'd be great if we did get a new library/extension, but at least the extension into L208 means there's a bit more space.

    There used to be good wireless access in the main Reception area, but I don't know if that's still active.

    Moving off topic here (THIS IS WHY WE NEED OUR OWN FORUM!) but fair play to the Live Music Soc for putting on a great open mic night in Dan Reddan's last night. Really enjoyed it!

    Better tell Fr Wall to hide the Holy Communion wine- I don't think they serve drink anywhere else on campus:D

    Sorry to double post, but watching the Six One News it seems like Brian Cowen might not even be the Taoiseach by this time next week! Are there any local or college celebs that could be drafted in to do the honours instead? (Preferably not Willie O'Dee)

    The password you use to log into computers in college.

    I hear Bishop Brennan was on standby but now he can't do it either. He's over in London for an audience with the Pope.

    It's lovely being able to pop in there for a chat as well as a Nutrigrain bar! :D Great staff in there, as I mentioned here recently.

    I feel so much more at home as a post-grad in the new building than I ever did as an under-grad in the old one.
