I have started to look around with an eye to 2019 as I have contacted ITAG locally (www.itag.ie) and with their experience they think we can put together a proposal provided there are any open dates at the University and provided that those dates do not clash with major events in town that tend to eat up all the hotel space.
Should I just continue to post here or is there another channel I should use to bring this forward? I suspect that ITAG will want more information concerning funding and the like.
