    the park inn... there's been alot of rumours of it closing down. are you from dundalk?

    Nope, not from Dundalk. And if I hear one more thing about The Park Inn closing down, I will actually scream :p

    <sigh> Someone's Mam rang them, apparently they're not closing down, they're under new management. Besides, our contract is with Debs Ireland, if it does close down, Debs Ireland will have to accommodate us some how.

    When is Debs food ever edible? Generally it's shoved in front of you, disgusting anyway, and taken away before you've had a chance to breathe. Meh...

    are debs committee decided to organise our debs this year through debs ireland. €87 per ticket.... anyone else think thats ridiculous. theres supposed to be a medieval theme to it but they just use that for every school they do and so we are paying for decorations that they reuse over and over again. don't book with debs ireland if your wise! how much is everyone else paying for their tickets??????????
    One of the simplest ideas in business is The correct price for something is the one people are willing to pay for it. Businessmen and women who own and run businesses know you are going to pay €87 for your ticket...

    ...and evidentally they also know there is little or no risk of competing with an alternative or a facing boycott.

    Debs are a ripoff, which is why I won't be attending mine. As someone mentioned earlier, the whole thing is just a glorified session. I don't like 95% of the people in my year, so maybe for my debs night I'll spend a fraction of the cost of money going out and having a better time with people I can actually stand being around.

    I was on my debs committee back in the day, and the organisation involved was a nightmare, especially when we were trying to study for the leaving cert as well. Our hotel double-booked us with a wedding, and we only found this out in may, and ended up being stuck in a much posher more expensive hotel miles out of town, which of course meant we'd go collecting even more money off everyone .... then dj was sick on the night, so the day of the debs itself I was so busy trying to get a back-up that I missed my hair and makeup appointments and ended up with just 20 mins to get myself ready ... there were plenty of other mini-disasters along the way too. If something like debs ireland existed back then, we would definitely have gone with it, even if it was a bit more expensive!

    Also, lots of people don't go to their debs. It's not that unreasonable of a suggestion.

    Highly offended non attending girl here ...

    My school's Debs commitee are organising everything themselves and it's costing about €70 per ticket, and there's been a lot of grumbling and rabble rabble-ing about the whole thing. You can't please everyone at the end of the day...

    i was on my debs committee aswell and seriously it's worth shopping around... ya ya it's a pain in the arse and I know it's hard enough finding places that actually do debs but you can end up saving a fortune...... good place to start is the debs website debsball.ie as every venue etc. on this website cater for debs so is very helpful www.debsball.ie

    My advice: shop around guys!!!

    €85 should be €105 but seeing as it's not my debs I won't be paying the €105 for the grad night in TBMC :D
