Was 5pm last year with the announcement of candidates shortly after, assume same this year?

Crash · 28-01-2007 5:43pm

Yeah iirc its usually around that time outside house 6 - was the same the year prior to that too I think.

xebec · 29-01-2007 12:01pm

Correction: the closing time is actually 2pm on Wednesday the 7th!

The usual time for announcing nominations is 5 or 6pm at House 6 as far as I can recall.

'Twas, but the e-mail which came from SU-land mentioned what xebec said so it's fair to assume that it has changed.

Anyone know of anyone who has confirmed their candidancy yet?

gom · 02-02-2007 1:05pm

I can confirm that I'm not a candidate as I have to focus my energies on preventing the SU supporting Trade Union assinations in Colombia.

Latest SU e-mail mentions a closing time for nominations on Wednesday at 5pm, not 2pm as mentioned previously.

Jager Man · 06-02-2007 12:51am

I just came back from exec and apparently Dave "I'll have a huge affect" Quinn was sadly mistaken and mistook information.

Closing time for nominations is still 2 pm!!!!!!!!!

Crash · 06-02-2007 3:26am

For the record, I don't take kindly to double accounts, and if jager man happens to be one I will make it a point to find out, and will make it a point to name said person.

if jager man is not a double account, then I apologise.

also, if anyone doubts my ability to track down people, ask mcguirkJ :P

Hello uproar my old friend... though the Electoral Commission will probably allow forms until 5pm 'just in case'.

IP checks are tough these days eh Neil :P

Nietzschean · 06-02-2007 6:36pm

ip checks don't work well for this forum as most people appear from the tcd proxies

Awayindahils · 06-02-2007 9:15pm

Weren't a load of labour at the exec last night?

And yes I do have to ask, I am library-nating at the moment.

Crash · 07-02-2007 12:27pm

Paul Mulville, Graham O'Maonigh would be my best guess - both of whom have accounts here already...hrmmm...

xebec · 07-02-2007 12:48pm

Could someone post the full list of nominations shortly after it's announced at 5? (I'm away today)

08-02-2007 11:12am

Still no sign of the official names on the SU website. I didn't take down names but the ones I can remember (which are missing people I don't know)...

Deputy President:

Plus there's one guy trying to do a shane and go for every position.

<<note - not a 100% accurate list, think I might be missing a couple of people for ents and welfare>>

Crash · 08-02-2007 11:20am

Mind if I just edit your post for accuracy Donal? can update some of the ones I remember.

xeduCat · 08-02-2007 11:47am

I don't think you should be trusted with a candidate list, Mr. Candidate, we'll end up with a certain name in a pretty font and ten times the size of everyone else

I'm not completely sure. He said afterwards that it was meant as a joke but that now that his name was in there that he was thinking about it. I think he's also doing it as an experiment to see how many people will vote for him if he doesn't produce a manifesto or do anything else.

And yes, that's the present Ents Officer there Ibid.

Good to see a member of the SU team treating this election with all the respect it deserves.

Kind of sums up my opinion of the SU.

Uh, let's hope that they've got manifestos, since judging by their Bebo pages at least 60% of the candidates are morons.

That's Conal Campbell? He was at my table at the CSC awards one year and was possibly the rudest and most obnoxious person I've ever met in Trinity. Good luck to him trying to sell himself to the student body. /Roffles to self

Deputy President
Sean Conway

Ibid is this guy a friend of yours? I know I've spoken to him a few times but can't remember where/when
