    No ideas of the actual dates but it's usually the end/late february.

    My bet would be the week starting the 14th but i have no real idea, i base that on the fact that its usually on the week in Feburary that the Champions league is back on.

    Missed most of it 3 years back cause I went to the Celtic vs Barcelona game.

    A lecturer in IT Sligo said it was on the week of the 28th of February

    An email was sent yesterday i think from the student union saying theres no confirmed date as of yet so everything else is pure speculation really id imagine

    Well seeing as things are going on "word" these days :p

    I hear the reason that they have yet to announce the date is due to the partnership the Student Union has with the Clarence with only these 2 parties being aware of the week so that the Clarence can get in the big name acts early and the opposition will then only have a short period of time in order to get their own "big" acts in, thus rendering it impossible to do so, leaving the Clarence with the dominant spot in the market

    This is just the word on the street now mind, however if its true its deplorable behaviour on the part of the student union (not that id expect any better off them) having 1 venue, which is a bit of a kip to be fair, being the sole choice of students to go to for "grade a" (probably c at best though grandmaster flash is appearing in april so i cant really complain) entertainment on the week that is of RAG.

    If tis proven to be true however complaints aplenty shall be made.

    It is definitely the week of the 28th. A lecturer was informed by SU that is definitely the date.

    We were told by a lecturer today it won't be confirmed by the SU until sometime next week.

    Any update on this? I heard it was the 21st now I'm hearing the 28th. I hope its the 21st as that is the week it is usually on.


  • Moderators, Education Moderators, Technology & Internet Moderators Posts: 35,076 Mod ✭✭✭✭AlmightyCushion


    It's the 28th.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,353 ✭✭✭henke


    It's the 28th.
    Fcuk them anyway why did they have to move it a week back from other years.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,797 ✭✭✭bobcar61


    What difference does it make if it's the 21st or 28th, it's not like your doing exams during them.
    I'm actually quite happy it's the week of the 28th, I'm on my holidays from Uni over here in France and plan on been home then and I was hoping I wouldn't miss RAG week
