Keep watching this site for details of our August/September Competition, which will be announced shortly.
 Many people have difficulty in believing you can actually still get something for nothing nowadays. I can’t blame them for that I suppose, with all that greed out there presently.
We have had numerous people this weekend contacting us, asking what is the catch regarding the free Tony Hawk Ride Game & Wireless Skateboard Controller for the Sony PS3 competition available on our website.
Believe us when we state “There is no catch, there is no entry fee.”
The competition is just our way of thanking the 151,000 people who have viewed pages on our site, so go ahead and enter.
Entering is easy, go to Top Right Hand Side of our home page, answer the simple question, add your Email address to enable us to contact the winner, add 2+2 and Submit. It could not be simpler.
The prize comes courtesy of our good friends over at Ireland’s No.1 Video Game Website , so best of luck and remember competition ends on August 14th.
 We promised you a fantastic prize for our July competition and “boys o boys” have we delivered. Gamers rejoice and be glad, this is one competition you’re not going to want to miss.
Thanks to our good friends over at Ireland’s No.1 Video Game Website, we have one copy of Tony Hawk: Ride to give away for your PlayStation3 console.
In ‘Ride’ the player uses the unique skateboard peripheral to simulate riding an actual skateboard in the game. The wireless peripheral, shaped just like a real skateboard, is equipped with infrared sensors to detect motion and display it on-screen. Turning, leaning, hopping, and other actions all reflect in the game realistically.
We have a copy of the game and the skateboard peripheral to give away to just one lucky winner. Entering is easy, go to Top Right Hand Side of our home page, answer the simple question, add your Email address to enable us to contact the winner, add 2+2 and Submit. It could not be simpler.
Our computer will select the winner on 14th August next so best of luck to all our competitors.
*Note: All participants must reside in County Tipperary and must be able to pickup the prize themselves if they are selected as the winner.
 The future of the Tipperary Institute (third level college), which was under threat of closure, now looks reasonably secure.
The Minister for Education Mary Coughlan is expected to make a full statement shortly following a proposal from the newly formed alliance between the Limerick Institute of Technology (LIT) and the Tipperary Institute.
The so-called ‘Bord Snip’ report which was compiled by economist Colm McCarthy last year, recommended that this campus, which consists of the Tipperary Institute here in Thurles and in also Clonmel, should be closed down and auctioned off as part of an overall package of national government cost saving measures.
It would appear that the Government will now give their full approval to the proposal, agreed by both third level colleges, to merge under the flag of the Limerick Institute of Technology. This move will create a significantly enlarged Institute of Technology serving counties Limerick, Clare and both Ridings of Tipperary.
The amalgamation once fully agreed, will be is expected to be fully implemented by September 2011.
LIT currently has two campuses in Limerick city with the main campus at Moylish Park and the Limerick School of Art and Design at George’s Quay and Clare Street, in Limerick City.
Under this proposal both Tipperary Campuses will in future be known as LIT Thurles and LIT Clonmel and this alliance will lead to an expanded range of courses and student services in future years.
Student numbers are expected to rise considerably by 2015.
