    My friends think there's NUI Galway, and then UCG. Afaik, they're one of the same, right?

    UCG became NUI,G in 1999 or so. Mainly a re-branding and cha-ching thing.

    Tell your friends that John from "The H'intarweb" said they were a shower of muppets.

    In the words of Mr. Hicks: "You're right, Not those fúckers YOU'RE FÚCKING RIGHT"

    I remember when the college changed over from UCG to NUI. The presidents office sent us all a letter (felt so privilaged at the time!) to pretty much plead with us to stop calling the place UCG and change it to NUIG.
