Guidelines for booking Meeting or Counselling rooms in the Margaret Aylward Centre

We look forward to welcoming you to the Margaret Aylward Centre – these guidelines may help your booking.

Covid-19 brings particular challenges as it changes so quickly. Our first responsibility is the safety of our staff and clients so we have put procedures in place that everyone must comply with in order to maintain the level of hygiene and safety expected. These procedures may change so we will be in contact with each booking regularly and specifically in the week in advance to clarify that we are all happy to proceed. Thank you.

    • Ventilation: We have excellent air con in all rooms and ask that meetings of longer than 90 minutes would have regular stretch breaks  so participants can move and the room be aired.
    • Catering: At present, we offer tea/coffee/biscuits in the groups meeting room. Please choose from one of two options :
      • A staff member will bring tea/coffee/biscuits to the meeting room at the agreed time. Our charge remains at €2.50 per person per break for tea/coffee/biscuits.
      • For €1 pp, a coffee pot, tea bags and boiling water will be available in your room for permanent refills where groups bring their own keep cups.
    • Covid-19 regulations. The director will meet each person arriving on site to welcome and facilitate current regulations and best practice. Any necessary Covid related forms containing personal information will be stored for three weeks and then destroyed.

Times: When requesting the length of time you wish to use the Centre for, please allow for set up and clear up time as other groups may have booked the room before or after you. In order to facilitate other groups and events we request prompt finishing time. Please note that the centre opens to the public at 10am (prior opening can be booked for groups) and closes for all groups promptly at 9:30pm, with a evening closure between 530 and 7pm.

Catering: We can provide refreshments if booked in advance. We can also share contact details of local caterers who are happy to deliver sandwiches or similar at lunchtimes, as well as details of local restaurants in walking distance.

Insurance: Evidence of Public Liability and/or Professional Indemnity Insurance are required from all groups or counsellors on booking.

Payment: You can pay in person, by cheque or online: AIB Branch: 40/41 Westmoreland Street BIC: AIBKIE2D IBAN: IE36AIBK93338478051040 ACCOUNT: MARGARET AYLWARD CENTRE FOR FAITH AND DIALOGUE  Please include a booking date or customer reference with your online payment so we know it is you!

Deposit:  50% of the room booking amount is the non-refundable deposit required to secure all bookings.

Cancellation less than 5 days before an event will require full payment for the room booking.
