      You’d want to be driving a pencil to find space in maynooth after 10 or so

      Lol I’ve NEVER seen a clamped car in Ireland and have constantly seen cars parked illegally here and don’t get me started on a match day.

      There’s also no public transport here

      Took the bus for the first time in months last week. It arrived late and then broke down. A replacement bus came along. Then it broke down too.

      Luckily, services are so few and far between that I would have arrived two hours before my appointment anyway, so I managed to be just on time for it regardless.

      Still, in light of that experience, I made sure to take trains home when my appointment was over. 

      Well the first train was twenty minutes late, so it missed the connecting one I’d planned around, leaving me with an extra hour and a half to wait around in the cold after everything was pretty much closed. 

      The *next* train also ended up delayed for twenty more minutes, this time in the middle of the journey, to allow another late train to pass in the opposite direction.

      It ended up taking me more than eight hours to make a supposedly four hour round trip, less than that if I’d been able to drive, for one appointment. A whole waking day of my life I won’t get back.

      “You can have a snooze, or you can study, or just relax”

      Fat chance – have you seen the way people behave on the bus now?? Blasting their TikTok nonsense all over the shop, annoying everyone else.

      Public transport in this country actually makes me depressed.

      That would be nice if more than ONE  Dublin bus route served Maynooth!!

      I went to Maynooth and loved it…..however I live in the catchment area and to get to Maynooth, I would need to take 2 buses that run inconsistently, stop early, and we’re expensive……..or I could drive for 20 minutes……

      When I was studying in maynooth, I used to have to get the bus from Newbridge. Its a private coach company (i cant remember which one) It cost a fiver each way, you had to book your seat in advance, and they would routinely overbook the morning buses so even if you paid you weren’t guaranteed to get on.

      This was only 7 years ago. I can’t imagine its gotten any better.

      IMO its a joke that maynooth (kildare’s 3rd largest town by population) doesn’t have any real public transport connections to Newbridge or naas (kildares 1st and 2nd largest towns). It would go a long way to helping the student housing crisis in maynooth if you could get to the damn place.

      When I was in Maynooth (many years ago) I applied to on-campus accommodation every year because transport to campus is woeful

      Maynooth has gotten ridiculous… Happy to sell parking permits but not provide parking… Happy to tell people to get “the bus”… that doesn’t really exist(I know there is a bus… but there needs to be many more options) Imo the university population has grown beyond capacity, which is sad because I had very fond memories of Maynooth.
