represents, and provides for, its members. The Union runs
well-stocked shops in the Library, Science and Engineering
Buildings and in Earlsfort Terrace; a second-hand
bookshop; the 'Trap' Games Room; a typing and photocopying
service; discos and gigs. The Union also offers advisory
services in education, welfare, employment and

Central to a student's social life in University is the
Students' Club which runs regular events and provides a
games, bar and video service. The Student Centre, which is
paid for and run by students, is the location for the
Union offices along with retail facilities, an auditorium,
