    Hey all, just a quick question.

    UCD are asking any of their students to receive a "Garda Report" detailing the road conditions of their area should they be unable to make it to an exam.

    Genuinely interested as to what sort of report this is? Would the local Garda stations be co-operative on this, and how long could it take to receive such a report?
    If you really can't make an exam you must fill out an extenuating circumstances form and attach a garda report outlining the fact that roads are impassable at your address.

    I cant see any reason really why not....accept will the member behind the desk agree to do it???

    Its like getting forms witnessed as true copies.....some members do.....others, quiet rights dont.

    Not sure where I stand on this to be quiet honest.

    Cheers NGA. Not too sure myself as to whether it is fair on either the student or Garda in question to have to go way out of their way to satisfy the UCD admin office giving the current weather conditions.

    Just asking as there is a heated discussion taking place as to whether the exams should take place tomorrow morning . . . could be very difficult for students to get to their 9AM exams, and UCD make it seem as if a "Garda Road Conditions Report" is something all can get with a breeze.

    No such report exists. You could attach any press releases from Garda.ie i suppose.

    print out a copy of rte.ie's page about the weather advisorys and the same from aaroadwatch.ie. both of them quote the gardai enough times says not to travel.

    i'd tell the admin office to shove it up their arse otherwise. you can't be the only one with this problem.

    I contacted the programme officer, it won't be a problem she told me, there are loads of people who were in the same boat that sent in an email to let her know.
