This year the committee would really love to treat you and go again. The only issue is that we would have to leave Ireland on the final day of winter exams. This could pose a problem for some people, so we would love if you could email us at committee@redbrick.dcu.ie with any alternatives that you can think of! =Admin Exam= If you are interested in becoming a Redbrick System Administrator please email us at committee@redbrick.dcu.ie .
