Film and Visit to Jail!
Hi everyone! Ed here!
The film for this weekend will be ‘Waking Ned’, or as it was called in the U.S., ‘Waking Ned Devine’. It’s a very good Irish comedy about a man who wins the lottery, and then dies, and his friends try to collect his lottery winnings for the village he lived in! We will start as usual at 8:00 PM, Theatre 1 in the Arts Block, this Sunday evening! Here’s a link to see a better description on what the movie is about.
Also, I’ve been asked by the History Society to tell you all about a trip they are running, and they’ve offered to let International Students sign-up as well! It’s a trip to Kilmainham Jail in Dublin! This is one of the most famous prisons in Ireland, as many of the people who fought for Irish independence were held there. The history Society is running a trip there, and they’ve told me that the price will only be 4 Euro per-person! That includes the bus from here to the jail, addmission, and then back to Maynooth! The trip will be held next Saturday, March 8th. The bus will pick up from in front on the Student’s Union at 2 in the afternoon, and return around 6. They will hold sign-ups in the Arts Building this Tueday and Wednesday; I will send out more details about it when I know them! In the meantime, here’s link that talks about the jail.
Tha’s all for now! Hope to see you all at the film!
