Snow and ice clearance are on-going and are likely to continue for a period of time following reopening. The weather will be variable over the coming days and the risk of further snow showers remains.

There may be some delay in bringing some university systems back fully on line after power outages and snow damage. If you observe damage to building fabric or signs of flooding please contact estates@ucd.ie or phone 01 716 7000 or 01 716 1111.
