AI is a distraction from what it means to be truly human, says Dr David Bell. We should aim for far greater things, find again the vastness of the jewelled sky and the light that only shines in another's eye.

When a man in Dublin stabs a police officer while shouting "Allahu Akbar" you can be pretty sure it's not the work of an indigenous Irishman. So why are the media at pains to pretend it is, asks Andrew Devine.

British TV grows more and more unwatchable with each passing day. That might be because BAFTA is on a mission to transform every TV show into climate propaganda ? and it's just stepped up a gear, says Steven Tucker.

Hourihane losses referendum - USI must now step-up fight!

category national | miscellaneous | news report author Thursday November 28, 2002 16:04author by OK - SYUCD Report this post to the editors

Today UCD students voted to stay in the USI and gave a mandate to the USI to step up fight on fees.

The 'No' vote was 72.57% (2109), the 'Yes' vote 27.43% (797)

The No campaign was fought on the slogan "No to Fees, No to Disaffiliation". Despite the watering down of criticisms of the USI by some in the campaign, and the involvement of full-time USI officials in the campaign, the result can be interpreted as a mandate to the USI to escalate the campaign against fees.

USI disaffiliation was something very close to the FF SU President Aonghus Hourihane, this referendum defeat is another blow to his presidency.
