After Covid when the Society was being revived Socsbox lost their copy of the key to O'Halloran House and so did security. After bugging both of them for many months eventually access was regained. The committee at the time (Niall and Aodhán) had no idea what wonders were held in there.

	In the second room, CompSoc had an array of bizarre items. Loads of old desktops and monitors, a blender, a kettle (which was commandeered for the climbing wall), a flip phone (which Cian Mulkern ~~used for a month~~), an ancient Apple Mac, a radio which only kinda worked and much, much more.		In the second room, CompSoc had an array of bizarre items. Loads of old desktops and monitors, a blender, a kettle (which was commandeered for the climbing wall), a flip phone (which Cian Mulkern uses semi-regularly to this day), an ancient Apple Mac, a radio which only kinda worked and much, much more.

	In 2022/23 the Rover Soc got funding for a large equipment purchase. They decided that the front room would be too small for the magnitude of quality tentage that was going to be acquired. They emailed Compsoc asking for space in the second room for equipment. This was the first time the Compsoc Committee had heard they had a storeroom. After a few more emails and messages they agreed to give some space to Rover Soc. After a few more emails and messages they agreed to move some of their stuff. After a few more emails and messages they actually got around to moving their stuff. They cleared out everything they owned so now Rover Soc took over with Astro Soc still keeping a few telescopes in the corner.		In 2022/23 the Rover Soc got funding for a large equipment purchase.

	Upon hearing that the store was going to be knocked the committee decided that they should sleep in the store before its gone. So on the 2nd of December 2023 3 intrepid rovers stayed the night in the store. It was surprisingly warm because the radiators in store were left on for several months by accident.

			In January of 2024 the rovers were forced to vacate the property and in April the building was mercilessly destroyed. The rovers were moved to Rehearsal Room 1 of Block R where SocsBox kept their financial records until recently.
