The 5th and 6th Year Classics and Art students left Dublin extremely early on Sunday morning, 25th February for the bi-annual Classics/Art trip to Rome. By all accounts it was a busy and exciting four days in Rome and the students also saw Rome covered in its first snow since 1986...
... meanwhile back in Ireland, Storm Emma and the snow arrived earlier than expected.
