Please note a change of venue to that on the conference programme, our sessions (and registration) will now be held in John Hume Lecture Theatre 4, directions to which are available from the following link http://www.nuim.ie/location/maps/index.shtml The John Hume building is located beside Auxilia House, so this will not substantially effect any existing travel arrangements.
A registration fee of €10 (payable either by post or on the day) applies, and includes coffee breaks, and a light lunch.
We are also holding a post-conference dinner in Maynooth village; if you wish to reserve a place, please indicate so on your registration form (we will need to know this in advance).
This is likely to cost around €20.
Only people who are ignorant of the Irish language would see these names as insulting.
