any recommendations of places/bag make ?

Well remember that strap over the shoulder bags can get uncomfortable if you have to carry them for a long time as the weight of the bad is balanced unevenly.

Also, make sure the bag is big enough to fit an A4 pad/folder inside.

Argos has some nice ones, and you can always find them in any sports shop!

outdoor wear shops (river deep/the great outdoors) usually have some nice ones

Get a rucksack!!!

You can sling them over one shoulder and look cool (ie not be tilted to one side with an unbalanced load)

You can put it on both shoulders for long distance trecks and not be in agony for days later. those one strap things should be banned.

You can run easily if needs be

The Army shops down around Mary St and Capel St are the way to go for all thing bag related.

If you're looking for a nice collegey rucksack, you could try Soweto on Liffey St. The army surplus stores/outdoor shops are good too, but the ones they stock tend to be a bit awkward as schoolbags.
