Introduction
ID Card. Where an ID Card must be
surrendered on demand the member
of staff must give a receipt if the card
is kept. Failure to surrender the card,
when requested to do so, may mean
that you will be requested to leave the
building. If the ID Card is lost, stolen
or destroyed, the student must report
its loss and obtain a duplicate from the
Admissions Office on payment of €10.
The card remains at all times the
property of the Institute.
