Hey, It's Ruaidhri here, I won't use the FYR profile for the rest of the campaign because it's technically the First Year Rep profile. My Finance Facebook profile is here http://www.facebook.com/pages/Ruaidhri-Boland-Your-choice-for-Finance/155055114552432

Yeah think I will head over afterwards anyway! Is anyone going to be taking note of what people are saying during the hustings? I remember someone (banquo I think) did it last year and posted it on here - it was really useful in case anyone misses what's said or can't make it. I'd do it if it wasn't for the fact I won't be there for all of it!

Imma go send some questions to Duddy now

That was me. I'll only be at the Presidents one this year though.

Would have been a bit biased if Banquo had of reported on his own(and his opponent's) hustings speech. :P

:DMaura Garihhy is running for this position for St Pat's Rep. She is a 2nd year Theology and Business student. She is highly involved in St Pat's. She is on the editorial team for the college magazine Siolta. Also she represented the college in Macedonia last year with another 2nd year student. Maura volunteers full time for a national organisation, as their PRO. Her experience has left her efficient and organised, with ideal characteristics for the St Pat's Rep. She has creative and ambitious ideas to help St Pat's students. I am posting this to encourage all St Pat's students to come out and vote on March 9th. Vote Maura no1 to have a greater voice in St Pat's and MSU. Also don't forget to vote yes to the referendum on the SU constituion:cool:, have your say. Thanks for the support:D

Absolutely nothing against Maura, I only met her for the 1st time yesterday and she seems lovely, but what about Shmick? Having worked with him all year I know how hard working and dedicated he his, what are the arguments against him?

I assume that that's aimed at me. Would you care to substantiate this remark or is this just a brain fart that hit the keyboard?

Elation is one of the organisations, it is for a band that tours Ireland and England, playing and teaching music to young people. Another that she helps out in allot holds Irelands biggest youth conference every summer. Which Maura both helped organised and was also a key note speaker. She is talented and organised and passionate for St Pats issues. A voice for theology students!:)

Just wondering Ruaidhrí. I saw some posters from your previous campaign from First Year Rep. You clearly said that you personally would campaign in order to keep the registration fee capped to €1,500. What have you done in a personal capacity (I.E not including SU protests or initiatives arranged by others) to do this? Secondly, do you now think that this was an unrealistic promise to make?

You've mentioned very clearly that you are a member of Labour. In which way will this impact your campaign?

Should this thread be closed? Surely this conversation belongs in the MSU election thread? Otherwise we'll have seperate threads for each race, and indeed maybe each candidate!

shmici

ha!
forgot to mention to the boardies that I'm re-running for pat's....
all i've done so fr was give out about the fact the tread was originally called NUIMSU elections!
not that really any of you can vote for me, or that any of you really care about the position itself!

funky penguin

Merged with St.Pat's Rep thread.

All election based shenanigans in this thread please.

cathaldonnelly

Now that my own are over, i'm looking forward to the Presidential hustings Roll on the 70 candidates i've got all day on Monday and a tonne of free tea so hit me with your rhetoric sticks!
