Too soon?

Nah!

So i hear there will be four sabbats instead of three with the new constitution.

I presume the meaningless/useless exec spots will be done away with.
Eg. Finance.
(Hows that Carbon Neutral SU coming along Declan :P)

So any Rumours/Facts?
Who's running for what?

I've set up a facebook page to let students share their ideas on how the Union and university could be improved.

Edit: link removed until the 28th at request of RO

Sorry Declan, but this has to qualify as canvassing before the close of nominations. I mean, you do state that you're still only "seeking nomination for President of Maynooth SU", but you've got what's ostensibly a campaign slogan up there.

As received from the Returning Officer:

"Candidates are not allowed to canvas before the close of nominations (10pm, February 28th). This includes the use of social networking sites, online message boards, posters, leaflets, etc."

Nowhere on the page have I canvassed. I'm asking for ideas that's all. If I'm overruled by the RO then I'll take it down.

I am delighted to declare that I am seeking nominations for the position of Finance Officer. Ruaidhri

Arguably the very title of the page "Declan for President, Bringing Us Together", specifically the first part of that line, could easily be regarded as canvassing. God knows there are enough posters put up year on year where "[name] for [position]" is the dominant text as part of canvassing.....

Will you be committing to continuing Declans work for a Carbon Neutral SU?

What plans will you bring to the Green Working Group Declan has set up on facebook at least).

While I would be delighted to answer the question, I would be obliged if you could ask me again after the close of nominations so I don't break the (pretty fair) no canvassing rules.

So I've heard of eight names being thrown into the hat for the Presidential race; four confirmed to me first-hand.

6, thats a fair amount running for president.

banquo

I also count 6.

I submitted my nomination for Finance today.

I've heard 9, not all confirmed, should be an interesting race.

Nominations closing at 10pm this Monday - anyone thinking of running get those 60 signatures!

I'm pretty sure he's not running as a serious candidate. One of those "Wouldn't it be funny if I got it? LOL" Type of deals. Don't get me wrong, the guy's sound, I won't be voting for him though.

Just for the record, I've known Charlie for a long time now and I know he wouldn't be giving up his valuable time in final year for a joke.

Well both times I've heard him talk about why he's running he gave blasé, throwaway answers. Don't know him well enough to tell whether he's actually being serious or not, but that's the way he's coming across.

That's just his sense of humour, as O'Casey said: "That's the Irish people all over - they treat a joke as a serious thing, and a serious thing as a joke".

Hope we don't "do a Fianna Fáil" and just have a re-shuffle. Always good to see new names and fresh ideas go forward for the Union. The problem with other Unions (Sup Belfield!) is that every year people just swap positions.

Last years turn out was amazing, that again please...

Less than 32 hours 'til nominations close.

Welfare seems to have been bopped up to 6 people strongly considering running: Fiach, Cathal, two other guys and two girls.

Nision

I only know of three guys..

Name and shame?

How so Joe

Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin was hunting signatures for Welfare on Friday. Didn't hear of anyone else though.

I heard Sinead Mawe has been gathering signatures too, but I've no idea what she's running for...

Can't you just tell us yourself? Boards isn't as anonymous as you'd think.

Nision

Another not-a-chance candidate for President. Transfers will decide it and it'll go on longer than Wicklow...

manna

Maybe not, but you clearly haven't figured out who everyone is yet. You've definitely pinned me as the wrong person.

Checking your old posts throughout boards.ie, I'd be genuinely shocked if I'm wrong. Not a big deal, though.

Back on topic:

Less than 28 hours remaining 'til nominations close.

My god, I've got a stalker! :eek:

So what about the other positions? Is there any names in the hat for Irish and Cultural affairs?

cathaldonnelly

So does anyone have a near complete list of candidates for the elections then? I'm hearing lots of maybes and maynots
