I think my subject line says my message for me, but once again, well done FEE and good luck with this campaign. Although I don't know any FEE members personally, you come across as a very well organised and dedicated bunch of young people with the interests of the full student body as your inspiration.
Of course, for this you will have your detractors (for whatever reason), but whatever the outcome you will have, as Ken Saro-Wiwa said to William Boyd in a letter shortly before being hanged, "the moral victory". (And that in itself is no small thing.)
Hmmm so FEE are running a joint campaign, hope that you do better than you have done previously at SU Council whether there is a strong dislike for the politics of FEE and motions mentioning FEE get defeated even the simple ones.
As for the elections the runners are
President: Gary Redmond - Ents Officer and FF
Julian Brophy - FEE
Chris Bond - Labour Youth
Donal Hanratty - Irish Officer
Redmonds to lose, the 2 left wing candidates will split the vote and hanratty will transfer to Redmond
Deputy: Ciaran Fitzgerald - SF & FEE
Paddy Ryan - Eng PRO
Fancy Ryans bogger vote to pip Fitzgerald at the post
Education: Donnacha O Suilleabhan - Science PRO
Kim Foy - Environment Officer
Ben McCormack
O'Sullieabhan should win but will he ? I fancy that McCormack might stage a surprise
Welfare: Welfare Scottie Ahern - FG & Disabilities Officer
Dani Pender - FF
Two faced versus two bland, Ahern to win but just
Ents: 4 running who cares really. Gary Ward to beat Mike Pat O'D
So overall FEE if lucky might get one person elected............................GO FEE

Are FEE running candidates in any other SU elections aroound the country?
Pretty sure FEE in Cork are running candidates.
Yes, FEE are running candidates in NUIG for the SU elections also. I, Joseph Loughnane am running for President and Richard Manton is running for Vice President/Education Officer. We are in the process of selecting candidates for Welfare, Student Development, Equality and Irish, so we can have a complete slate of 6 FEE candidates running.
Their passion was admirable, but what happened to one of their candidates, for all his radicalism back then, he is now the poster boy for FF http://www.universityobserver.ie/2010/03/30/a-safe-ship...ters/
