OscailtUCD FEE launches three sabbatical SU election campaigns alongside referendumWith the government's decision to introduce third level fees expected within two months, the student campaign against fees, Free Education for Everyone (FEE) is stepping up its campaign across the country.
A crucial step is fighting to build genuine campaigning students' unions capable of leading a mass movement to defeat the government's threat. In UCD, FEE is standing a slate of three candidates for sabbatical office in the Students' Union as well as running a referendum committing the union to serious action against fees.

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. <br />
<br />
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.)fee not wantedhttp://www.indymedia.ie/article/91125#comment2457852009-02-17T10:34:33+00:00su hackHmmm so FEE are running a joint campaign, hope that you do better than you have ...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.<br />
<br />
As for the elections the runners are <br />
<br />
President: Gary Redmond - Ents Officer and FF<br />
Julian Brophy - FEE<br />
Chris Bond - Labour Youth<br />
Donal Hanratty - Irish Officer<br />
<br />
Redmonds to lose, the 2 left wing candidates will split the vote and hanratty will transfer to Redmond<br />
<br />
Deputy: Ciaran Fitzgerald - SF & FEE<br />
Paddy Ryan - Eng PRO<br />
<br />
Fancy Ryans bogger vote to pip Fitzgerald at the post<br />
<br />
Education: Donnacha O Suilleabhan - Science PRO<br />
Kim Foy - Environment Officer<br />
Ben McCormack<br />
<br />
O'Sullieabhan should win but will he ? I fancy that McCormack might stage a surprise<br />
<br />
Welfare: Welfare Scottie Ahern - FG & Disabilities Officer<br />
Dani Pender - FF <br />
<br />
Two faced versus two bland, Ahern to win but just<br />
<br />
Ents: 4 running who cares really. Gary Ward to beat Mike Pat O'D<br />
<br />
So overall FEE if lucky might get one person elected............................GO FEE<br />
