Some
essential
facts
about
Ireland
Ireland has a population of just over 4 million
people, 25% of whom live in the greater
Dublin area. It is estimated that people from
160 nations have made their home here.
Although geographically on the periphery of
Europe, the Irish people have traditionally
been quite pro-European since Ireland joined
the then EEC in 1973. The Republic of
Ireland’s Head of State is President Michael
D. Higgins
The Head of Government or “Taoiseach” is
Mr Enda Kenny.

Section 1
Irish people are quite proud of their Celtic roots. In fact,
the Celts may have arrived here as early as the 6th century
B.C. They were, of course, followed much later by the
Vikings, the Anglo-Normans and the English. Christianity
was introduced in the 6th century AD and monasteries
soon became not just the centre of religious life, they
were also important seats of learning. Some monasteries
even received students from abroad. Irish monks then
travelled through Europe, establishing monasteries and
centres of learning as they went.
Irish Universities and Institutes of Technology continue the
tradition of higher education and proudly welcome a
growing number of international students, who follow in
the footsteps of those early travelling scholars.
Climate & Clothing
You have probably heard a lot about the Irish weather
before your arrival here! And you will notice that the
weather is a frequent topic of conversation in everyday
life.
We have a mild, moist climate and rarely experience
radically high or low temperatures.
There is no real pattern to the Irish climate and sometimes
we experience all four seasons in one day. We are ill
equipped for extremely cold temperatures and also cope
badly in very high temperatures!
Autumn can be quite sunny during the day with mist
descending in the evening. During the winter months we
experience sharp winds and frosty nights. The coldest
months are January – March with daytime temperatures
between 4°C and 8°C. There is often snow on hilltops and
mountains, and sometimes in the cities – this usually
causes traffic chaos.
Spring can be quite chilly, with prolonged rain.
July, August and September are usually the warmest
months 14°C -16°C
It is a good idea to wear layers of clothing so you can
adapt to the daily temperature variations. Always have an
umbrella and/or rain gear with you. You will probably be
surprised at how few people wear hats, scarves, and
gloves in the cold winter months and amazed at how
quickly we wear T-shirts as soon as a sunray appears.
The English language in Ireland
Initially, you may be surprised at how different HibernoEnglish sounds compared to the English you have learned
in class, or what you have heard on American or British TV
channels. In this variety of English you will find differences
in the pronunciation, intonation and some minor items of
vocabulary. When you travel to other parts of Ireland you
will find that there are also many accents of Irish English.
The Irish language.
Many people arrive in Ireland thinking that Irish is just a
dialect of English.
In fact the Irish language derived from Celtic roots, unlike
English, which is from the Saxon family of languages.
Approximately 4% of the population speak Irish (Gaelic)
as their first language in everyday life. The Gaeltacht areas
where Irish is still the first language are located in the
North-West (Co. Donegal), West (Co. Mayo and
Connemara, Co. Galway), South West (Co. Kerry and Co.
Cork) and Co. Meath. Although you may not hear Irish
being spoken in Dublin, you will encounter some Irish
language mainly in the form of street names, road signs,
bus destinations, toilets, and the occasional expression or
“cúpla focal”.
Here are some basic expressions in Irish that you may
come across.

Dublin
Home to over one million people, Dublin is a vibrant,
dynamic European city. It is alive with theatres,
restaurants, museums, galleries, shops, pubs and
nightclubs. In the urban centre it is hard to miss evidence
of this fine city’s historic past. From the remains of Viking
settlements, through rows of elegant Georgian houses, to
the streets and buildings referred to by Joyce, Dublin is
where the past meets the present.

acclaim in their own right. The works of playwright Brian
Friel, poet Seamus Heaney and novelists Roddy Doyle and
Patrick Mc Cabe add continued vibrancy to this sector.
Ireland’s strong economy in the recent past encouraged
many successful Irish emigrants to return here, bringing
with them valuable new perspectives and ideas. People of
several other nations have now settled here too, resulting
in a multi-ethnic community that is apparent in all areas of
society.
Many global companies have a base in Ireland, including
Intel, Microsoft, Xerox and Alcatel. Dublin is wellestablished as a European hub for numerous high-tech
companies.
Tallaght
For many years, the works of Beckett, Yeats, Wilde and
Joyce have been a source of pride for the Irish nation. Our
rich literary heritage has also inspired many contemporary
Irish writers, who have received international critical
It shows the greater Dublin area, with Dublin airport in the
north west of the city, and the suburb of Tallaght in the
southwest.
The map below can be found at http://www.softguidedublin.com/maps/index.html
Section 1
Although a suburb of Dublin, Tallaght itself is actually
larger than the other Irish cities of Limerick or Galway,
with a population of 100,000. Over 1,000 companies
are based in Tallaght, including UPS, Nestlé, Loctite,
Gilbeys and United Drug, to name but a few.
Although now a thoroughly modern urban area, the
tradition of studying in Tallaght goes back as far as 769
AD when St. Maelruain founded a monastery here. This
scholastic tradition is continued today in the purpose
built Institute of Technology, which opened in 1992.
Tallaght is practically a city in itself. The facilities include:
The Square shopping centre (over 100 shops), 12-screen
cinema, theatre, dozens of pubs/clubs, hotels &
restaurants, bowling, gyms (with reduced membership
rates for ITT Dublin students), swimming pools, public
library, internet café, 3 public parks, a number of smaller
shopping centres and retail parks.
Institute of Technology Tallaght
(also known as ITT Dublin).
The parkland campus (circa 15 hectares) is nestled in
the heart of Tallaght village and has cinemas,
restaurants, bars, banks, hotels, shops and a theatre
on its doorstep.
The Institute of Technology, Tallaght is a modern,
purpose-built complex in a tranquil, green setting.
Natural light streams in to all areas of the college.
Many classrooms and common areas overlook leafy
courtyards; others have views of landscaped green
areas, making this a very pleasant learning
environment.
It is easy to find your way around the building as room
numbers indicate their location. Rooms starting with 0
(e.g. 020) are on the ground floor, those starting with
1 (e.g. 124) are on the first floor and those starting
with 2 (e.g. 210) are on the second floor.
Furthermore, each staircase is colour coded so you will
easily remember which one to take.

and the city and a one-way ticket costs 2.80 Euro. The
fare is based on the distance travelled. If in doubt, ask the
bus driver. If you take the bus regularly find out about

IN IRELAND WE DRIVE ON THE LEFT. Apart from that
slight difference (!), you will find that driving in Ireland is
the same as anywhere else.
In January 2005 speed signs were changed to Kilometres
per hour, bringing us into line with continental Europe,
and making it easier for visitors to use our roads within
the legal speed limits. If you plan on driving to Northern
Ireland or to Britain, note that the signage there remains
in miles per hour. Here is a conversion guide.
30 mph = 48 km/h
40 mph = 64 km/h
50 mph = 80 km/h
60 mph = 98 km/h
70 mph = 112 km/h

Drink driving: Official policy is not to drive if you have
had an alcoholic drink.
Insurance: You should check with your insurance
company that your policy is valid for your extended stay in
Ireland. Bring a copy of your insurance certificate with
you.
Driving Licence: It is now compulsory to carry your
driver’s licence with you at all times while driving in
Ireland.
Roundabouts: Traffic that is already on the roundabout
has priority, or right of way.
Rules of the road: If in doubt, you can buy a copy of the
“Rules of the Road” in bookshops and post offices.
Accommodation
First: –
Some advice before choosing accommodation in Dublin:
Before arrival:
Find out what is available and what you can afford by
searching Dublin’s accommodation websites.
Do not expect
to reserve accommodation in May / June, if you are
arriving in September. It is more usual in Dublin to
arrange accommodation at shorter notice.
Book into a hostel
for the first few days if possible. Make some phone calls &
arrange to view a number of flats, etc. Get to know the
locality and decide where you would feel comfortable
living. Most ads will give information about the bus or
tram routes close to the accommodation.
The college is in the district Dublin 24. Addresses that are
within easy walking distance of ITT Dublin include
Kingswood, Tallaght village, Bancroft, Glenview, Old Bawn
& Belgard. Addresses in Dublin 22 are generally accessible
by bus. The good websites will SHOW you where the
accommodation is in relation to the college, by providing
a map.
NEVER arrange to send cash shipments to an address in
Ireland. ONLY pay deposits using an international bank
transfer, where you have exact details of a bank account,
a person’s name, address and land line telephone number
(NOT mobile phone number).
ALWAYS read your tenancy contract (lease) very carefully.
Do not sign it unless you understand and are happy with
all the terms and conditions. Ask your prospective landlord
/ landlady to explain the terms and conditions if necessary.
12
Section 2
It is important to adopt a positive approach where the
issue of accommodation is concerned. Not everyone can
immediately find the ideal accommodation. Be prepared
to accept an alternative for a few weeks until you have
had time to network with other students and get to know
the area.
Cost of Accommodation
As a Capital City of a European Country visiting students
will find that accommodation in Dublin is relatively
expensive €100-120 per week is normal, and you may
pay even more if you want to live close the college.
Sometimes, you may have to make compromises between
cost and proximity to college. Watch out for extra costs
too, e.g. electricity, heating and internet access.
Searching the internet:
There are many websites offering accommodation to let.
Most sites offer to send you e-mail alerts about properties
that come on to the market,
Try www.let.ie . Another very popular website is
www.daft.ie/lettings
On this website you can select “Institute of Technology
Tallaght” from the “College Search” option. You will view
a list of locally available properties. Places that are within
easy walking distance of ITT Dublin include Kingswood,
Bancroft, Glenview, Old Bawn & Belgard. You can search
for accommodation by areas of Dublin, e.g. ‘Dublin City’
or ‘West Dublin’ (where Tallaght is located). You can also
search by postal district for places to rent. Tallaght is
Dublin 24, a large district, and includes all the places
named above. Other districts close to Tallaght and on a
frequent bus route to Tallaght are Dublin 6W, Dublin 22,
Dublin 16 and Dublin 12. Beware that all the odd
numbers (Dublin 3, Dublin 9, etc.) represent districts north
of the centre of Dublin, while the even numbers are south
of the city centre.
The college Accommodation Register is another starting
point in your search for suitable accommodation. This is a
regularly updated list of what is available in the
locality. This list is offered to students with no
obligation on the part of the ITT Dublin; if you would
like to rent from this list, you must contact the individual
landlords. This list is updated regularly, and can be sent to
you on request via email. To receive a copy of the
accommodation register, please send an email to
angela.deacon@ittdublin.ie.
Most of the accommodation on the list is in private
homes, where one or more bedrooms are let to students.
For some students, staying in a room in a family home is a
good way to get established during the initial few weeks.
It will be necessary to understand some of the basic
acronyms used:
The accommodation may be offered on a Bed and
Breakfast basis (B&B), HB, or Half-Board (i.e. breakfast
and evening meal), FB, or Full-Board (breakfast, lunch,
evening meal), or even self-catering (SC) whereby you
have access to cooking facilities. These family homes are
normally in the vicinity of the college, in residential areas
on public bus routes. Be sure to mention any special
dietary requirements, etc at the time of booking.
Approximate costs for seven days:
Bed & Breakfast
95 Euro
Half Board
100-130 Euro
Self Catering
70-85 Euro
Many students refer to the daily national newspapers
where accommodation is advertised.
The Evening Herald offers a wide range, some ads
appear in Buy and Sell, whilst the Irish Times and Irish
Independent tend to cater more for professional wageearners. The accommodation adverts refer to
'Flats/Apartments to Let' - this indicates that a
flat/apartment is available for one or more persons to rent;
House Sharing indicates that several people are already
renting a house and are looking for an additional person.
This option is ideal if you want to share accommodation
with a mixture of males/females some of whom work or
study.
Approximate costs for a
1 bed apartment: 900 Euro
2 bed apartment: 1200+ Euro
Noticeboards in local supermarkets often display adverts
for accommodation. Also keep an eye on noticeboards in
the college.
There is a range of hostels and budget accommodation in
Dublin city centre for short-term arrangements. Try
www.visitdublin.ie or refer to IYH handbook.
PLEASE BE CAREFUL !!
If your landlord requires you to pay a deposit before giving
you access to the accommodation, make sure that you
understand the terms and conditions about the return of
the deposit. If you are in any doubt about the validity of
the contract, do not sign it until you have had a chance
to satisfy yourself that it is genuine.
Tenancy law
The law governing tenants and landlords is outlined in the
Residential Tenancies Act 2004, which can be read in full
online at:

Registration and Induction
Incoming International Students will receive their registration instructions
by mail or email prior to arriving in Ireland.
Induction
The International Office organises an induction programme to welcome all
new incoming international students to Institute of Technology Tallaght.
This programme will guide you through the academic and administrative
procedures. It will introduce you to the various supports and services
available to you as an international student. In addition it will give you
practical information and tell you about life on campus, helping you to
settle into your new environment as quickly as possible.
14
Section 3
Registration and Induction –
Erasmus programme students only
Erasmus students will receive details of their first
meeting via email.
Registration and induction of Erasmus students will take
place in early September OR late January, with welcome
activities especially for Erasmus students and further
information and orientation sessions. Detailed times and
places will be emailed to you closer to the date.
Representatives from Student Services Department will
tell you about registration requirements and you will
have an opportunity to meet representatives from
Student Medical Services, Sports & Recreation, the
Students’ Union, the Counselling Service, the college
Chaplains. There are also tours of the college services,
the library and student computing facilities.
Finalising your timetable
If you are not attending a pre-set academic programme
you will need to arrange your own timetable. This will
take about two weeks, during which time you will need
to familiarise yourself with the timetables of different
academic programmes and/or academic departments.
Ideally you should try to pick modules that do not
involve a clash of times. It is important to be flexible
with regard to modules: it may not be possible for you
to attend certain classes due to lack of space. You will
have to finalise your module choices by early-mid
October when you must submit your registration form
to the Registrar’s Office. Once this form is submitted, no
further changes can be made to the subjects you will
study while in ITT Dublin.
Academic advice
During the first few weeks of the semester you will have
further opportunity to receive advice on academic
matters. Many departments have appointed an Erasmus
coordinator, and it will be possible to receive individual
appointments as required.
English as a Foreign Language
For Erasmus students with B1 or B2 level English, classes
in English as a foreign run throughout both semesters.
Each semester carries 7 ECTS credits.

The library is one of the most important learning resources
of the Institute and plays a central role in academic life.
The Institute library is available to all registered students
and staff. The library is located on the ground floor to the
left as you enter the main entrance.
The Institute ID card issued to you at registration also
doubles as your library ID. Make sure you always have
your card with you, as you’ll need it to borrow books, and
to obtain some of our reference material. If you mislay
your card, please let library staff know as soon as possible.
You are not permitted to allow others use your card, and
you are responsible for all items borrowed with it. Please
familiarise yourself with the Library Regulations (page 87).
Using the library web catalogue (TallCat) you can check
what books, journals, DVDs, student projects etc. that the
library holds. It tells you whether an item is in stock, if it is
on loan, how many copies are available and where it is
shelved.
You can also view what items you have on loan, place
requests for items on loan to another user & renew your
own loans. To avail of these and to access additional
services such as online access to past exam papers or
electronic resources, you will need to set yourself up with
a library PIN number. For information on how to set this
up, check out the library web-site or ask a member of
staff.
To access the library catalogue, use the following link;
http://library.it-tallaght.ie/search/
Databases provide a search index to: full text peer
reviewed journal articles, abstracts, conferences and
standards. For more information, check out the library
website;
http://library.it-tallaght.ie
The Internet is also a source of information. To assist you
we have selected some web-sites and search portals for
your subject area on the Subject Internet Gateways on the
library website.
Books and articles unavailable in the Institute’s library may
be ordered, by completing an Inter Library Form. Forms
are available at the library desk, please fill in as much
detail as possible.
If we can do anything to help you make the most of the
library’s resources, please let us know.
Books are issued to you by staff at the library desk or by
using the self-service machine. There are 3 main
collections in the library, these are; General Collection,
Short Loan and Reference. Low usage books are held in
the Book Store.
General Collection & Book Store books are issued for two
weeks. This period may be extended by calling in to the
library, telephoning us or using the library web catalogue
to renew them. You can renew books three times.
There is a penalty point system for overdue books. You
accumulate 1 penalty point per day for each overdue book
from the general collection. On short loan items 5 points
per day are added to your library record. On reaching 20
penalty points, the borrower is blocked from borrowing.
The library provides access to computers which can be
used to check our databases or search the Internet.
Computers are located on the mezzanine floor of the
library. We also provide laptops for use in the library with
wireless access to the Institute network.
The library has study areas. The main body of the library is
for individual study, but if you need to work together, you
can book one of our group study rooms, located on the
first floor. These are booked using the library catalogue.
17
www.ittdublin.ie
These rooms are equipped with wireless access and
whiteboards.
There is an Assistive Technology room provides specialised
software and hardware for use by students with
disabilities or learning difficulties. See information leaflets
in the library or ask any member of staff for more details.
Laptops can be used in the library and may be powered
from available power points. However, students wishing
to use sources to power their laptops in the library do so
on the understanding that the Institute is not liable for
any damage caused as a result of supply and/or technical
problems.

Plagiarism
Plagiarism means that you have deliberately represented
some one else’s work as your own. Normally plagiarism
involves the use of someone else’s work without giving
full acknowledgement but it is also plagiarism to alter the
form or context of that work in order to conceal the
source. All Institute students are expected to use other
people’s ideas. You will use books and journals in the
library, some assignments involve working collaboratively
with others, and in some cases you may have access to
other people’s work on computer disk or over a computer
network. When undertaking a major assignment, you
may sometimes legitimately make reference to similar
projects undertaken by students on your own or another
course in previous years.
However, other people’s work must be used in a
principled way, with due acknowledgement of
authorship. Recognised standards of acknowledging the
work of others will be discussed during your course, and
it is important to retain guidelines which you may be
given, and observe them.
Plagiarism means taking someone else’s ideas or writings
and presenting them as your own. Like cheating in an
examination, plagiarism is a serious matter. Where there is
evidence to suggest this, a formal process of enquiry may
begin, if it is found that plagiarism has taken place you
may fail the piece of work concerned, and will not
necessarily be permitted to resubmit it for a pass mark.
Plagiarism in a major piece of work at the final level of
your course can result in a decision by the Examination
Discipline Board not to award you a Degree/ Higher
Certificate. If evidence of serious plagiarism comes to light
after the Examinations Board has agreed final results, the
Institute reserves the right to invoke the Examinations
Discipline procedure which may result in the cancelling of
the award.
18
Section 3
Where plagiarism, or other forms of assessment offence
such as cheating, is suspected, decisions on assessed work
will be made only when the facts have been established.
All serious cases may be considered by the Examination
Discipline Board. The procedures for dealing with
plagiarism up to the point of the final Examination Board
are available from the Registrar’s Office. Plagiarism is one
of the most serious academic offences you can commit
and if caught you render yourself liable to disqualification.
Eating in College
There is a restaurant area in the college. The largest, on
the ground floor is open from 08.30-21.00 Mon-Thurs,
08.30- 16.00 on Fridays and 10.00-13.30 on Saturdays. A
variety of options is available from the Sandwich/Panini
counter, salad bar and hot counter.
Upstairs, sandwiches and Panini are served on the
Mezzanine.
It is also possible to bring in your own lunch and eat it in
the restaurant areas.
Health Insurance
Non-European Union (EU) Students
International students are advised to ensure they have
comprehensive health insurance, which includes cover in
the event of hospitalisation. This policy may be obtained
in their country of origin in which case a copy of the policy
in English should be obtained before travelling to Ireland.
Proof of health insurance is required for student visa
applications. Non-EU students will be asked to show
proof of comprehensive medical insurance when
registering with the Garda National Immigration Bureau.
The Institute can arrange Medical Insurance for students
at a cost of €105 for an academic year.
Counselling
The Counsellor's office is located on the ground floor, turn
left before the AV office. An appointment is not always
necessary, but the office can get busy during term time.
Aishling O’Brien is the Counsellor and her telephone
extension is 2635.
Careers
Health Centre
The Health Centre is located in room 108 on the first floor
(yellow stairs). A nurse is on duty from 9.00–21.00
Monday to Friday and 9.00-13.00 on Saturdays. No
appointment is necessary to see the nurse and this service
is free of charge, but you do need an appointment to see
a doctor and there is a charge for visiting him/her. Doctors
visit the college each week and the nurse will make an
appointment for you.
Contact: Nurse Orlagh Fleming on extension 2613.
Important Health Forms to bring with you
(Erasmus programme students only)
European Union (EU) citizens should apply for the
European Health Insurance Card in their home country.
This new card will cover EU citizens for all medical and
dental treatment (including any necessary medication),
whether emergency or not.
Don’t leave home without this card, which is available
from your local Public Health Centre. If you do need
medical assistance while you are in Ireland, check that the
doctor you visit here is a public one, i.e. part of the
Medical Card Scheme.
Non-EU citizens taking part in Erasmus programmes
should consult their home universities about adequate
health insurance. Private insurance in Ireland for these
students costs in the region of €100 for 1or 2 semesters.
The Careers and Appointments officer is based in room
122. Here you will find help with C.V. layout, interview
techniques, job placements, etc.
Chaplaincy Service
The Institute Chaplains are there to facilitate the social,
human and especially the spiritual development of
students within the context of their own religious
traditions, all of which are equally esteemed. Where a
Church does not have its own Chaplain visiting the
Institute, we are available to help establish a link with the
student’s faith community.
Lockers
Many students choose to hire lockers for the year. To hire
one, call to the Caretaker’s office on the ground floor,
show your current Student ID card. Although rates for the
coming year have yet to be set, from September, lockers
could cost around €15.
Banking services in ITT Dublin
There is a branch of the Bank of Ireland located on
campus (1st floor).
Bank of Ireland, Tel: + 353 1 451 5399
Open: 10.00-16.00 Mon, Tues, Fri. 10.30-16.00 Wed.
10.00-17.00 Thurs.
19
www.ittdublin.ie
Beside the bank there is an ATM*, which accepts cards
from Austrian, French, German, Spanish, Italian and Dutch
banks. It may also accept ATM cards from other EU
countries, but if you intend to use your bankcards from
home, check with your bank about the cost of using your
cards in Ireland.
To open bank accounts in Ireland you must, by law,
produce 2 forms of official identification. This usually
means a valid passport and a utility bill e.g. phone bill,
with your address on it. A letter from the International
Office, confirming that you are a student, will be accepted
as a second form of identity by the campus Bank of
Ireland, though we cannot take responsibility for your
address. It is probably best to call in to the bank with your
passport and the letter from the international office, and
explain that you are an exchange student here at ITT
Dublin and any other form of official ID that you may have
with you.
2 further Irish banks with branches in Tallaght village are
listed below. To reach them turn left at the main entrance
and walk for about 600 metres. All banks are closed on
Saturdays but many operate Internet or telephone
banking. Ask for details when you open your account.
Allied Irish Bank (AIB), Main Street, Tallaght.
Tel: + 353 1 451 2811.
Open: 10.00-16.00 Mon, Tues, Fri; 10.30-16.00 Wed;

Groceries
More tips for your budget.
Your cheapest option is to purchase groceries in the larger
supermarkets such as Aldi, Lidl, Dunnes Stores, and Tesco.
Local neighbourhood supermarkets such as Londis and Super
Value are fairly competitive. It is much more expensive to
buy your groceries in the smaller 24-hour convenience stores.
Initially, you will probably find Dublin quite expensive.
With a little ‘insider information' it is possible to reduce
your costs and expenditure.
If you cook regularly, you might consider purchasing your
vegetables and fruit at the outdoor markets. There is a
farmers’ market every Friday in Tallaght Square. Other fresh
food markets operate in Dublin City Centre e.g. Moore Street
(off Henry Street), Smithfield Market both on the Northside;
Camden Street on the Southside. This makes shopping a
much more social experience, but be prepared to buy in bulk.
There is also an organic market in Dublin city centre (in
Temple Bar Square in the cultural quarter) every Saturday
morning and ethnic foods for sale in The Asia Market, Drury
Street and Epicurean Foodhall, Middle Abbey Street.
Depending on your accommodation you need to consider
a budget for electricity (ESB), internet, heating (gas, oil,
electricity, coal, briquettes), TV licence and cable. Bills can
generally be paid at any bank or post office. Just bring
the bill with you.
Weekly budget
Clothes
If you're not concerned with designer labels, the popular
chain stores such as Dunnes, Penneys, H&M, etc. are
found in many locations and offer a vast range of clothes
for all seasons at very reasonable prices.
Plastic Bag Tax
There is a government levy on plastic bags in Ireland. A
regular plastic bag now costs 30c. This charge does not
apply to the small bags used to wrap meat or fish. Many
Supermarkets also offer “a bag for life” which is a large and
more durable plastic bag. Prices for these vary from 30c to 1
Euro but if the bag wears out, the supermarket will replace it
free of charge. Most department stores and larger clothes
shops have changed to paper bags, which are free.

Of course, prices vary from place to place, but hopefully
this list will be of some help to you when working out
your budget.

Socialising
ITT Dublin Students Union organises a range of events
throughout the college year. Refer to your Student Union
handbook for the calendar of events. Regular annual
events are Freshers' Week and Rag Week. There are lots of
Clubs and Societies, sporting facilities and events. Over
the past few years the International Culture Society has
been one of the most pro-active groups in the college and
students have had an opportunity to participate in
weekends away discovering regions of Ireland other than
Dublin. The ITT website also keeps you updated on events.
The Dublin Event Guide is a free newspaper issued
fortnightly on a Wednesday. It is usually possible to locate
a copy in The Civic Theatre, Tallaght or in pubs in City
centre. It provides a full insight into music events, cinema,
theatre, comedy & museums.
Pubs
Pub styles vary greatly from the most humble, where locals
come to enjoy a quiet pint, to the trendiest bars, some
with their own micro breweries, where people gather to
see and be seen. Prices vary too, of course. In contrast to
many other European locations we usually order our
drinks at the bar and pay for them as soon as they are
received. If you choose to buy drinks in the Lounge tipping
is usually expected.
Never leave your drink unattended in a club or pub.
Opening hours are 10.30-23.30 with 30 minutes drinking
up time. This means that the last drinks are served at halfpast eleven, but customers can stay in the pub until
midnight. Pubs can remain open until 00.30 on
Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays, again with an extra 30
minutes drinking up time. Occasionally, pubs may have
Section 4
permission to extend their opening hours. This
would usually be the case at long weekends or
during major sporting events.
Nightclubs
There is no shortage of clubs in Dublin. They are
generally open until around 2:30. Most clubs and
even some pubs have strict dress codes. T-shirts,
sports jerseys and trainers are generally
unacceptable.
Cinemas
There are plenty of cinemas showing Hollywood
releases, including the UCI, in The Square shopping
centre, here in Tallaght, tel: 4598400. If you long to
see a film in a language other than English, check
out the listings for Screen on D’Olier Street (city
centre) tel: 6725500 or the Irish Film Institute (IFI) on
Eustace Street in Temple Bar, tel: 6793477
Smoking ban
The college building is a no-smoking area. There is a
designated smoking area outside, at the back of the
building. Since March 2004, smoking has been
forbidden by law in all places of work, including
pubs, restaurants and nightclubs as well as all public
buildings, buses, trains etc. If you are a smoker, it
may take some time for you to grow accustomed to
the idea of leaving the building and going outside to
smoke!
Getting home after a night out
A little common sense goes a long way here.
Obviously, don’t walk alone in the middle of the
night. Stick to well-lit, busy thoroughfares if you are
walking. Use the same rule of thumb when
choosing a parking space.
Nitelink. This is the late night bus service from
Dublin city centre along most of the main bus routes.
It operates from after midnight until around 4am
(not on Sunday nights). You can buy your ticket in
advance, or pay with exact amount on the bus (no
change is given) There is a kiosk at the relevant
departure point. Tickets cost €4.
Taxis
It will usually be possible to get a taxi, and there are
taxi ranks at the following places in the city centre:
O’Connell St, Dame St, St Stephen’s Green. If the taxi
queues are too long, you may decide to walk further
up Dame St, towards Christchurch.

Travelling Around Ireland
If you plan to make some private weekend trips and
discover Ireland a little, the following websites are useful:
www.heritagedata.ie , www.tourismireland.com,
www.discoverireland.com
Bus journeys outside the Dublin area are with the national
bus company Bus Eireann. The main bus station is Busaras,
located near Connolly Railway station just north of the
river Liffey. These buses cover long journeys e.g. Dublin Cork and offer special weekend bus fares.
www.buseireann.ie
The national train company is called Iarnrod Eireann. Our
rail service is not as extensive as in other European
countries and can also be quite expensive compared to
the long distance bus fares. There are two railway stations
in Dublin City centre; Connolly Station, located on Amiens
St in the city centre (north of the river Liffey), and Heuston
Station on the quays. Both these train stations are served
by the LUAS red line that goes to Tallaght.
24
For reductions on Bus Eireann and Iarnrod Eireann you can
use your International Student Identity Card with a
Travelsave stamp.

The DART is a suburban train which runs from Howth, a
small fishing village on the peninsula North of Dublin, to
attractive coastal village of Greystones in County Wicklow.
Howth is a popular place for a daytrip. To see maps, etc.,

• An open mind –the first thing you will probably
notice is the differences between Ireland and your
own country. The initial three weeks can be a time of
great adjustment as you get to know new friends, a
new college and a new country. So, give yourself time
to settle in to your new life as an International
student. Hopefully it will be the experience of a
lifetime!
