Taxpayers Are Charged for the BBC Whether They Like it or Not Sat Nov 22, 2025 11:00 | Charlotte Gill
It's bad enough that all UK TV users are forced to fund the BBC via a TV licence. But it's worse than that, says Charlotte Gill: millions of pounds of taxpayers' money are handed to the corporation via backdoor channels.

World Kindness Day may have passed you by. But it won't have passed by your children, whose school will have been sure to teach that climate action and open borders are essential elements of 'kindness', says Steven Tucker.

Read what happened when an Extinction Rebellion meeting was disrupted by a protester. Seems they can give it out but have no intention of putting up with it themselves.

This leaves the battle on for Irish Language officer. The Left have one candidate, the right have 2 candidates.
I heard from a good source that Shane Hennelly will not be taking up his position as he is going to America on a Handball scholarship for a year instead.
Can someone from the SU officially come on and confirm or deny this?
Can someone confirm the decision of Hennelly to piss off to play ball in the states? Please let it be soooo....
james carroll is definetly not right wing.
have u ever spoken to the guy?
Why do the vast majority of the people on this site fail to recognise the social democrats within FF, and that they are in fact the majority within FF?
Its PD infiltration that is trying to change our party.
So after all that shit during the election that our friend, James C, the Fianna Fail social democrat had left the party, it now turns out he hasn't!?! OHMIGOD! Theres a surprise, my faith in democracy lies in tatters in a pool of piss beside me...
I know James well, he is right wing. He supports the war in Iraq, he supports cuts in health care, he is a member of FF, a supporter of the government, on Coke he is anti-boycott, he opposes the anti deportation campaign, he opposes the idea of the 'Free Dave Murphy campaign'.... It is clear that on nearly all the issues that he has taken up, he is on the right.
I wonder where James will stand on the racist referendum being proposed by his government? No prizes for guessing!
"james carroll is definetly not right wing."
What! I always though supporting privatisation and the occupation of iraq put you on the right of the political spectrum. (source: last SU Council meeting on USI congress)
He also opposes the campaign to free a jailed student for protesting and he opposes 'wasting' money on an anti-departation campaign that was started when a Nursing student was being deported. (Source: his election campaign and the college papers). James has no problem with corporate funded education (source: the hustings debates)
James beleves he is the best man for the job of education officer as he is not "a fucking communist" (source: lecture address in Engineering).
James Carroll is on the right of the political spectrum. He may not be as right as others in FF. But he is still on the right. At least be honest about it!
I think that Róisín is the best candidate. She is the most experienced candidate. She's got my vote. And I'm getting all me mates to vote for her...so there!
PS
Shane Hennelly is not taking up office. That's from a good source. The love of handball in the states is beckoning!
Can someone please come on with a real name and verify Hennelly's resignation.
If it is true it vindicates the position taken by Cogavin and the RON campaign.
So are there any FF lefties (or less than right than usual?) at all in UCD or are they all fascist evil bigoted types whose sole ambition in life is to destroy the SU?
rosin for irish - an excellent dedicated candidate, i would have every confidence in her.
tobie for women's - also very dedicated, approachable, and imaginative. i couldnt think of anyone better for the job.
then
ron for the other two unless they sufficiently convince me otherwise
Why the FUCK does everything always come down to a right/left divide. According to you socialists, if you're not Left, clearly you must be Right. For fuck sake, cop the fuck on.
It's possible to be neither.
I am certainly not taking up any position in the united states for handball or otherwise.I don't really like posting especially on this site but i feel this merits a post.
I was mandated by the students of UCD to become their welfare officer and by god thats what im gonna do
Im not right wing not that it matters and would never join a political party cause none of them represent my personal beliefs
Well done to Sinéad on getting Irish Language officer! best person for the job but politically where does she stand? Tadhg was a clear F F'er and Roisin, a Socialist, but SInéad so far hasn't made anything clear.
Given Sinéad's interest in the Gaeilge & the trad. music, etc, it's easy just to presume that she's very much right wing but from talking to her I'm not so sure. She was very involved in some government protest about the irish in the EU and some other stuff. .....will be interested to find our for def where she stands on things
