Introduction
This memo concerns the ROI Market Participants’ Planning Workshop. This Workshop is a key element of the Supplier Support Programme outlined in the recent HSP Market Communiqué – 1 (distributed on 29th Feb to all RMDS ROI-registered parties and now available on the RMDS Calendar for 23 Sep, 2012).
Currently, this is the only such Workshop planned by the HSP Project. No remote dial-in or WebEx facilities are planned to allow for remote attendance.
As such, personal attendance by Supplier-nominated representatives is highly recommended. NI-active Suppliers who are involved in the NI rollout are reminded that this Workshop will cover important ROI-specific design and technical elements of the Project.
Target Audience
The Workshop is focused on the planning needs of the nominated MP representatives in the project management, business and technical areas.
Workshop Objectives
The overarching objective of the Workshop is to provide nominated Supplier representatives with sufficient planning-level information on theexpected business and technical changes being introduced by the Project to enable them to:
- assess the general impact on their respective business and technical arrangements
- if not already started, to kick-start their planning for the detailed implementation work required.

Alexander HOTEL

Car Parking
Alexander Court car park is located on Fenian Street, which is the same street as the AlexanderHotel. If you continue past the Alexander hotel follow the road around to the left the car park is on the right hand side underneath the Alexander Court Apartments. You need a code for the gate to access the car park, this code changes every week so you will need to call the hotel before you arrive on 01 607 3900.
Alternatively from the Davenport, it is left at the traffic lights and left and the next 2 sets of traffic lights. Alexander Court Car Park is then in on the left.
There are plenty of spaces so you do not need to pre book a space. It is €10 for 24 hours for guests staying in the hotel your ticket will be validated at reception to get the discounted rate but you must pay for your ticket in the machine in the car park. If you are not staying in the hotel we have a visitor rate of €2.00 per hour.
The car park is between number 1 and 2 on the map below.
