To be honest it's all a bit stupid. Lecturers are getting huge pay and some can hardly lecture.

I agree its stupid. But i am delighted to have a day off

Monday will probably be a bust as well. Most students that went home will more than likely stay there til Tuesday night.

Hmm...maybe I should chance staying an extra hour in bed Monday and actually be able to get parking Monday morning at a reasonable time...may take the risk.

So er...do we still have Tuesday off? http://www.rte.ie/news/2009/1122/weather.html I'm guessing no. But I was gonna stay at home till Tuesday evening.

Hmm...not sure what going happen now. Lots of students may not bother coming in.

Glico Man

Until I get an email from CIT saying otherwise, I'm staying at home to catch up on my reading for my dissertation.

I have to go in tomorrow so I can print a load of stuff...free printing in my computer lab so happy days:D

Outkast_IRE

that rte link seems to say the unions have given permission to people working in certain areas to work on i.e people who are directly invlolved i.e nurses or outdoor council workers . Guess we will have to wait and see tommorow

Being honest haven't a clue but staff haven't got an email either advising of changes. Some of the news websites say all SITPU/TEEU/IMPACT staff in Cork/Galway and others say staff working in relief efforts / medical staff.

It's just people that are involved with flooding afaik. Fire brigade, Councel etc etc.
