Accomodation
Another pertinent question is where you can stay while at the con.
The campus accomodation offers nice rooms at a reasonable price. Last year we had some complaints from the campus office so try to behave yourself if you're staying there.
If you're feeling a bit more opulent the Glenroyal Hotel is just down the road.
There are also a few B&Bs in Maynooth if that's more to you're liking, you can find links here, here and here.
Of course you could rely on your looks to win you a free bed for the night but in these recessionary times it really is a buyers market.

Transport
Some of you may be asking the not insignificant question of how to actually get to Dominicon.
Well we're on in the John Hume building on the north campus of NUI Maynooth.
A fairly comprehensive account of how to get to NUIM can be found here
The John Hume building is number 15 on this map, very easy to find from the footbridge at 24.
And if you'd rather see what it actually looks like, go here.
