Choose your coarse, not your college

Iadt is a great college in an academic sense, however i am writing this regarding its lack of emphasis on sport.
I am a big sport player myself,taking part in a number of different activities that range from rugby to athletics. My one worry when i started in this college was its lack of sport facilities,clubs and events.These worries have been realised when i found out the college didn't even have a GAA team.

I know from first hand experience that young 6th years take sport into account when choosing the college they wish to attend. With Iadt looking to acertaine university standard this is a big problem. This is due to students choosing the college not the coarse. When they see IADT compared to other IT's such as C.I.T and I.T.Tralee all they see is the sporting facilities and interest the college has in sport. whether they are better colleges is certainally debatable. In my view I still would choose this college over most but something needs to be done regarding this situation.
