Hearing rumours of a David Hartery, Kelly O'Brien and Andrew O'Doherty ticket...

I have stated on a few occasions that I think my time to leave UL/Limerick has come and I intend to finish up my degree and move on to bigger and better things. That and I've done my stint as a candidate and don't think i have the energy for that again (and I have an fyp to finish)

Plus it just wouldn't be feasible to re-organise my campaign team on short notice with them scattered around the country/world

It's Eamonn Horgan, not Eamonn Hourigan. Bit particular about these things.

I'd be hoping for Hartery, O'Brien and Woods to get elected going by this list.

Though I think Rockett has Ed sewn up because, whatever else about him, he's very personable and knows how to win people over.

Yeah... I don't get it to be honest. I mean, he would be perfectly suited to do Keith Quinlan's job, and the campaigns part of his brief this year were handled pretty competently. But by his own admission at the EGM he "fúcking hate[s] being stuck behind a desk", and I can understand that. But why run for a position that requires a lot of meetings and paperwork and such... I just don't get it.

Apologies. As I said, please excuse any mistakes. Rectified now
I had not seen the name written down, I only heard it.

Those are the names that were announced in the union at 6 this evening.
Few names there I know nothing about

Hey, what happened today?! Haha... Welfare had about 6 names tied to it as the day went on, but anyways - we're down to the final three now. Im helping with the Will Jennings campaign - just read the official elections post so figured I'd declare that on here now. Best of luck everybody!

As we're now out of rumourland (at least the bits of it referring to who might be running), I'm going to lock this and direct you all towards the elections thread. Engines started and all that.

Any comments you've made here that you reckon are just as home in the post-rumour elections thread (and there are some), feel free to repost them over there.
