LATEST INFORMATION
Clongowes remained closed on Sunday and re-opens on Monday evening, 5th March with classes resuming on Tuesday.
This decision was taken as the College remained surrounded by large volumes of snow, and access was via the front avenue only at this time with just a single lane open. Approach roads from Clane and Barberstown also remained very difficult.
Many support staff braved extraordinary conditions to get here for a few hours, while others lived in for the past few days; a big thank you to them. As more staff get into work on Monday we will be much better placed to receive students from early evening.
