    I was wondering the same thing myself. Added realism to the drill, perhaps?

    Hopefully they learned something, like to keep the barrier raised!:pac:

    Yeah saw that too when I was walking in at about 10.30. They didn't seem like they were in any particular rush to do anything

    We were evacuated (from an exam!) when the alarm went off and saw the fire engine drive past the Panoz entrance and head down towards the Lloyd while the alarm was still going off, it didn't seem in much of a rush though...

    Just outside the Panoz entrance to the science building, as in the one opposite the cloakroom.

    In other emergency services and Trinity related news, when I was leaving college about half 3, there was a Garda car parked at the Pav, a good few Garda motorbikes parked at the motorcycle parking area next to the Lincoln's Gate entrance as well as dark Merc with Irish flags at the front corners of the bonnet (Presidential style). Anyone know who was visiting?

    It was the opening of that *danger stay away infectious yellow tape everywhere* thing in the science gallery. I'd imagine the president or some TD

    On the topic of mercs... last week there were three shiny black ones parked just inside the pearse street entrance. I checked who was talking during Trinity Week at that time and it was Eamon Ryan, Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources.... I duno if it was just a coincidence or were those three cars actually for him..?? He just works around the corner for God sake! He could have walked to Trinity...

    Sure I doubt a taxi would even take him it's such a short distance.

    Well seeing as Infectious opened on Friday 17th April, I wouldn't have thought a politician would be attending the opening almost three weeks later...they're bad but they're not that bad!
