i thought i'd start this thread to make it aware to the people who are suppose to be in charge of the university that some students are pi.ssed off with the incompetence of the maintanance of certain areas of the university.
this morning i used the male toilets in the arts block. the hand dryer in there has been broken since may and has yet to be fixed. this is an effing disgrace since the management here had the whole summer to fix it but never bothered. after using the toilet i went to get a drink from the water fountain in the arts block, afterall commuting is thirsty business but low and behold the water fountain is broken and has sck over it since again may. now i have to go to the atm, get money out and buy a bottle of water.
honestly like, why am i paying over 4 grand a year to be here? wheres the money going?

feel free to ad anything which college maintanance has failed to fix

Used that toilet while on a visit to maynooth during the summer, a swift thump with the palm of your hand to the button gets it to start and a repeat performance switches it off

irrelevant now they've been replaced but still, it's a tidbit of information

i see the water fountain in the john hume has been put out of use for the past week or so. theres a large plastic sack put over it and there doesn't appear to be any attempt to fix it. it looks like a 'we'll fix it later' kinda job. lets hope it doesn't take as long as it has taken the one in the arts block to be fixed or we maybe waiting until 2013 before it happens.

Has that not been like that for ages now? Email maintenance and see when it will be fixed if you are interested.

Unblock toilets probably.

maintanance must be aware of the problem. its not like they wouldn't pass through the john hume and not notice the sack over it

on another note, maybe the old lady in the shop sabotaged the fountain to boost sales in refreshments?

My friend works in Londis, and I can guarantee that that's not true

Do the sockets under the seats in Iontas work? I connected the charger of my laptop but they don't seem to work.

They have their days. Sometimes they do; sometimes they don't! Haven't a clue what's going on.

the library water fountains are a flippen joke. i was in there the other day and tried to take a sip from it and all i got was a dribble coming from the fountain. disgraceful

Oh the bidets? The ones on the 3rd floor? Why are you drinking from a bidet? I could give you a fiver if you're desperate. Deep River Rock is my favourite water: it's delicious!!

How so Joe

I had the wonderful experience of realising that the lock on one of the cubicles in the girls bathroom in the Arts block (by classhall C) is broken.

Also, one of the taps in the (girls) bathroom upstairs doesn't work. Yet I invariably try to turn it on. I think it says something about how stupid I am.

Actually, a load of the locks of the cubicles don't work! I always make sure to check first. Oh how I love the silver hand dryer in there.
