Paul Rouse: You think it's easy to smuggle pool tables into college?

In UCD, there was a dedicated pool hall in the basement of the Arts Building; it was known to students as ‘The Trap’. Rarely can a room have been better named.

Hustling for an education: Pool is fairly pointless unless it’s accompanied by pouting and posing, sneering and goading.

One of the great things about being a student at the end of the 1980s and the beginning of the 1990s was the opportunity to play pool.

If truth be told, dedication to pool may have hindered the academic progress of a generation of students.
