    Any news on whether WIT is opening tomorrow?
    Whats roads like to WIT from Manor Village?
    Thanks in advance

    Roads are treacherous and I'd really advise against anyone travelling down. It would be irresponsible for the college to open tomorrow.

    WIT remains open tomorrow, just came out on WLR.
    keep an eye on the actual website though cos they could always change their mind.

    I'm actually amazed at that. I'd still recommend that you don't travel too great a distance to get down though. I'd imagine that the first few days will be woefully disorganised anyway and you won't be missing much!

    All main roads a slushy but driveable. Roads in housing estates are bad and people should drive/walk very carefully. Back roads are pretty dangerous and will become worse over night. If you are drving from Cork, you should be ok on the main roads if you are careful, likewise with other surrounding counties like Wexford, Carlow, Tipperary, Kilkenny.

    Unfortunately the WIT is open tomorrow. However, if you live in the countryside and just cannot make it in. Stay at home because you can be sure that WIT staff and lecturers will be in the same situation.

    You should check the main WIT webpage www.wit.ie for updates later today.

    SU website? That yoke? Seriously now, that thing seems to be on a mission to get worse every year! The SU sent out a text saying its currently open but as usual dont drive if its not safe to do so.

    I think the text thing WLR were on about is not the college in general but specific courses (call the switchboard, it says it will send out texts to a certain group of students).

    The SU are being kept in the loop and being told what the college is doing. How do you think they have the update on their website and WIT don't

    Shame because id say not many people take any notice of the WITSU website. Its never been used properly and looks like a 6th class kids painting :p (and thats an improvement on previous years!)

    WIT should update their news website for those not looking on here or WITSU.

    I can't believe they're keeping it open. The roads out by my place are lethal, I doubt i'll make it anywhere tomorrow. 4 cars crashed on my road at the moment.

    SU have confirmed that WIT has deferred commencing classes until Wednesday the 13th. College buildings will be opened if possible. Please get the message out as much as possible. Thanks

    Good news I suppose!
