    Know a few people working there.. :P
    New Two Pot House..
    If you're actually staying in Mallow, good luck..
    There's pubs all up the main street, some aren't too bad, and two/three night clubs.
    Light is one night club open Fri and Sat, full of 16-20 year olds..
    Experience, part of Light accessible through Hi B when it's open is over 21's, same dance scene as light but older personnel :P Both 8-10e admission.
    Chasers is the last one, bottom of town, generally where older people go, sh!t hole.. And not saying that because I'm barred.. :P

    tldr: It's sh!te.. :P

    Anyone else getting an absurd amount of emails from Gavin Connell or is it just 4th years?

    We actually brought up the number of emails being sent at Student Council. Main people we complained about were Gavin Connell, Gabrielle Hanrahan and Writing Centre.

    Taking over Mary Sweeney's spamming, by the sounds of it.

    First years are getting emails from Gavin as well. Some of them are relevant like AmeriCamp but rest of them were irrelevant and pointless to be sent to my inbox.

    I got 6 emails today (technically yesterday) from Gavin Connell. Fecking sickening! If I want to go to a careers seminar I'll find out myself!

    Gavin should be sending out emails (in fact, the careers service could do more to inform students of opportunities for summer internships and so on) but I don't understand why he can't send one email at the end of each day with everything in it. It seems like he sends a new email everytime something comes up.

    Could the careers service not offer an optional list or something for students who want to receive these emails.

    What has happened to the reading room!? All the desks and chair had been removed and the room cleared as I was waiting in line for the computer room.

    Wouldn't be surprised if they moved it to a smaller space i.e. the new glass corner when they used to store books on the ground floor, to make room for more desks or computers.

    Nope, that glass room is being made into a big electronic book sorting room or something like that.

    Doesn't mean the reading room is not getting moved to another part of the Library/University or done away with.

    Didn't say it wasn't, just that it's not going into the glass room. No idea what is happening to it.

    Yup, that's what's happening there.

    Realistically they could have fit more desks into that reading room. Maybe they're rearranging or making it into a 'proper' study zone?

    Any tasty beers available in The Scholars? I think I saw on Facebook a while back that they stocked craft beers but has that come and gone? Bit tired of drinking from the trough across the way.

    You're a student? Sounds like the stables is too main stream for you? More than likely better pints as they are being pulled more often, there's a reason one is busier than the other, that could be part of it.

    Scholars doesn't market itself as the big student event pub because it's not big enough. It's lovely for a quiet night out though that's still a bit of craic. Plus, their hot chocolate is absolute amazing...
