LAUNCHING WWW.CITYWESTCAMPUS.COM
Welcome to Citywest Campus News
I would like to introduce you to a new website
specifically designed for you, the people who work at
Citywest Business Campus. We developed the website
to promote a sense of community within the Campus
and to make your life easier.
Public Consultation is onging. RPA literature has
been circulated to businesses in the Campus
and the public is invited to make submissions
directly to the RPA. This document will form
the basis for discussion and consultation with
residents, business and commercial interests,
Luas customers, stakeholders and the general
public.
Luas Line A1 will deliver top quality
public transport services to established
Communities and will facilitate the
rapidly developing Citywest Business
Campus. Details of the Open Day will
be announced very shortly.
The website lists all the amenities such as Restaurants,
Shops, Creches etc., on the Campus with contact details
and information on what they offer. It also lists nearby
facilities such as Hotels, Gym and Golf Courses. It has
maps of the Campus to help new staff find their way
around. It contains all previous Campus Newsletters
which contain valuable information relating to Citywest.
It has timetables for all public and private transport
services to the City, to the Luas and to the Dart. It will
have a weblink to the new shopping centre when it
opens in 2007.
Please log onto www.citywestcampus.com.
If you have any suggestions please use the contact
page on the website.
I hope the website is of interest to you and provides
you with valuable information to make working on the
Campus more enjoyable.

in the Dublin 24 area proceed forward to third
level education after the completion of their

Citywest Business Campus while integrating the

Community.

access third level, student shadowing, life skills
development, university open day.
2. Access Scholarships:
This fund will sponsor students from our area
throughout their college education at DCU. This
year eight students are enrolled and this will
increase as more students become aware of the
programme.
3. Sports Scholarships:
This fund will sponsor Athletes from the Tallaght
area to compete at a national or international level
throughout their college education.
DCU have put a programme on behalf of the
campus in place that will involve schools in the
area, such as; Brookfield, Jobstown and Killinarden
Community School to name a few. DCU have also
joined with Tallaght IT, UCD and TCD to ensure the
programme has maximum impact on the local
Community.
There will be a number of Practical Workshops
developed and targeted at both students and their
parents; thereby developing a positive approach to
education and helping both students and parents
understand the CAO application process thus
developing a positive approach to education for
all the family.

COMPUTERS FOR SCHOOLS
Do you have unwanted/surplus computers/monitors/keyboards/printers? A number
of companies have previously donated surplus/old IT equipment that the local IT
Teacher in the school can refurbish to make suitable replacements to their existing
equipment. The computers need to be Pentium 2 or better. This can go a long way
to help educating our local children in IT, where funding from the authorities is
inadequate. Please contact Katherine/Christina at Citywest Reception
on 4660160 or email [email protected] if you can help.
