Who's running for the SU?

Diarmsquid

In anticipation of a yes vote in the constitution, let's get the ball rolling on outing potential candidates for the Exec positions.

Rules of this thread: no post without a piece of speculation.

I'll start. I've heard from a fierce reliable source that Cillian Byrne will be running for the position of Education. I've heard Collie Oliver is also thinking of re-running, for what, can anyone confirm?

Can you post who you would like to see run?

I've heard that Cillian's running for Education as well. I hope he does, done an excellent job this year imo.

Of course there's always the "Will he? Won't he?" surrounding Ed Leamy. I think he said himself on DCUfm that he's not entirely sure.

I'm really loving the 24 hour library our current SU prez got for us.

Ian McGlynn running for Education, heard from a couple of reliable sources.

Would be a very interesting battle between him and Ciller.

Anyone to challenge Ed Leamy for Prez?

Someone mentioned John Harney to me..

The VP positions should be closely contested. Some very good and experienced candidates up there!

Yeah I've heard Willie's name been thrown about alright. Can't see him being competition for Ed though.

You could get Cian, Andrew and Johan to run for the other positions. I can't see any reason at all why that wouldn't work as an SU :P

Rynner

Oisin Kelly going for Engineering and Computing Convenor...

I'm actually really looking forward to it...

It looks like all of the positions are gonna be contested. Well it's good to see that so many people have an interest in the SU.

Is it just me that would love to see some new faces elected, instead of basically the same few people just swapping around positions?

Me too, but then again I would never run and I never really have needed the SU except for providing me with great excuses not to go the the student balls ( Vanilla Ice:rolleyes:).

andyman

Paul Doherty is running for Club's Officer.

Stev_o

How the hell can a current SU member run for a second year for a position that isn't SU president? Some people just doing this for the power of doing **** all for a year.

goodgodholmes

Have heard Sinead Kelly has dropped out of the race for President. (only saying what I heard, sorry if not!)

While I'm great friends with Ed, this is saddening!

I've severe heartache over who to vote for Welfare. Know two of the candidates pretty well and will be hard-pushed to decide between them... most likely going to go on manifesto at this stage (which I guess is what should be done in the first place!)

Relieved I'm not involved this year... phew!

Gunslinger92

I'm gonna part of Eolann's campaign :pac: So if ya see a weird red haired chick handing out lollipops or whatnot, say hi

Technically, if Collie and Cillian get the position this year they could run AGAIN next year since the new constitution only came in this year.

Just a big of useless information.

I'm voting this guy for eng and computing:

robby^5

Only one candidate for SU President? That's pretty poor considering last years election provided us with plenty of choices and an interesting election (to say the least).

anyone else get a little annoyed by the crazy amount of posters with minimal information.

Seeing 15 pictures of some guys face isn't gonna make me vote for him.

Did they photoshop lipstick onto him in one of the posters, or did you just add that for the gif?

Not that surprising. Niall McClave ran unopposed in 2008.

I think that effect is just an amusing by-product of downscaling those images into gif format. Didn't notice at first because I can't look at it for too long without feeling rather ill...

pretty sure his lips went a bit transparent when they added the alpha layer, that's some high quality red brick lipstick =P

Hey guys,


Would really love your support in the elections next Wedn/Thurs 6th and 7th of April. It would be an honor to represent the student body of DCU as the designated Welfare Officer 2011/2012.


Please see the 'info' tab at the link below for the bones of my manifesto.

'No problem too big....no problem too small...'

Why are you going for a sabatical position for the second year running - despite being elected last year? Why not let new blood in?
