I am pleased to announce that this years Euro-festival has proved to be a success. Many interesting European cultural performances were hosted in Athlone over the past few days. Feedback so far has been very positive from the students who travelled to the event on the IDCAS/Frewin organised trip. Tonight there will be a large firework display over the river in Athlone. Depending on the final/overall feedback received, IDCAS may decide to support students wishing to attend next years festival in Hungary.
