Please note, that if individual teachers have made arrangements for practice orals, project work after school, detention etc, these may be rescheduled, to factor in the early finish. Students involved, need to check with their teachers on the morning.

IMPORTANT: Message from An Garda Síochána

The College has received communication from the Roads Policing Authority of An Garda Síochána, to inform us of a number of complaints they have received regarding cars parked in the bus lane along the Mardyke.

The Roads Policing Authority will be doing regular ‘drive-bys’ and fines will be issued based on car registration plates. Vehicle owners will be issued with fines in the post and not with tickets on the spot.

Please be aware, if you park in the bus lane, regularly, or on occasion, you may be getting a fine(s) without you being aware of the incident(s).

Needless to say there is absolutely nothing the College can do about this, so please don’t shoot the messenger!

 

Regards
