Yeah I noticed that this morning. Feck sake! There's plenty of other things to write on in the college, why do they have to write on the wall?

I think I'm getting old.

No imagination eh!! Must be first years. Just look out for anyone "Dressed in Uniform and Singing Marching Songs" that should give us a clue as to 'WHO DUNNIT'

I can see it from my kitchen window in plassey, the guy thats trying to clean it off comes back every hour to do a letter, passed by the wall at 2 last night and it was clean.

It certainly has some bad vibes but if you dont work....you might have to stay longer than you would have wanted to....but hopefully not incinerated.

there's a poll on the ULSU website about this - www.ulsu.ul.ie.

Personally I'm not so much worried about the wall as I am about the fact that someone thinks it's actually funny to write a message that was a sick ironic joke played by the perpetrators of some of the worst humanitarian crimes in history. It's not funny at all.

On the otherhand however, it is somewhat intelligent, if it is a/some student(s) opinion of their education at UL/third level education in Ireland/etc....however, I'm not condoning such likenesses
