This is the email from last year:

The College will be closed from 5.00 pm on Friday 8th May 2009 for the annual Trinity Ball. The following points in relation to the
arrangements for the Ball are for your guidance on that day:

Front Gate will close at 2.00 pm on Friday 8th May and will remain closed until 2.00 pm on Saturday 9th May to allow for the post

Gate (Arts Building) on production of a student/staff card.

All staff and students who are not working at the Ball are requested to leave College promptly at 6.00 pm on Friday 8th May, whether

admission to the Ball.

Accessible Spaces
Three (3) temporary accessible car parking spaces (reserved for people with disabilities) are available in Botany Bay (East) for the
duration of the parking restrictions associated with the Ball preparations.

Off Campus Parking Facilities
To compensate for the loss of parking spaces on Campus eighty (80) spaces have been reserved for Trinity College permit holders
in the Parkrite public car park on Fleet Street. College permit holders may avail of these spaces ‘free of charge’ (subject to availability)

This is a 24 hour facility and is being funded by the Ball Committee.

COLLEGE BUILDINGS
All College buildings will remain closed from 6.00 pm on Friday 8th May until normal opening hours on Saturday 9th May. There will be
no access to any College building after 6.00 pm (even outside the Ball area). This restriction affects all staff and students including those
who would normally have access to buildings outside the usual opening hours.

SECURITY
College will be at greater risk than normal during the period of the Ball. Please, therefore, pay particular attention to securing rooms/offices
and other facilities by ensuring that doors and windows are properly locked (including shutters if fitted). Do not leave valuables on view.

This warning applies to all accommodation in College, both residential and office, whether in the Ball area or not. Special attention should
be paid to securing windows and doors in ground floor areas, particularly in the properties in Pearse Street, Westland Row, South Leinster
Street and Lincoln Place.
