Broni got Comms. Very close between him and Mal. Surprised by lack of updates on boards- try Stobserver on twitter and #msuelections2011 for more

Seren_ · 10-03-2011 11:07PM

Well, that was an interesting day! I'll apologise for lack of updates - I was at the count from 3 and I even had my laptop, but it was in my bag :pac: The Student Observer has class stuff on it though, so check it out here.

Well done to everyone who ran, and especially to those who won

The elections are over. The 2011 constitution is in effect.

So what do we talk about now?

There's a lot I could say, about my campaign, about the conduct of others, but it won't change anything, the people have spoken, and so all I will say is that I stand by what I said in the student observer interview
http://studentobserverireland.wordpress.com/2011/03/10/sabatical-positions-count-msu/?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=facebook
and I think the following quote sums it up nicely:
“Honor has not to be won; it must only not be lost.”

LeixlipRed · 11-03-2011 04:42PM

Very dignified speech in defeat Declan, fair play.

Duddy · 11-03-2011 08:04PM

The RO team was amazing, the candidates were all great, its been a hell of an election season.

Now, to bed. See you all in a week.
zzzzzz

How so Joe · 11-03-2011 08:35PM

Said it before, I'll say it again, well-run, very professional, and major thanks to the RO team, my own team, everyone else around the place and all the candidates!
Congrats to the eventual winners!

Ms. Koi · 11-03-2011 10:06PM

Defeat isn't easy but everyone took it with heads held high and that's nothing but a credit to them. It takes guts to run and everyone who ran should be proud!

Myself and AdmaialNimitz did RON proud I think!:D

I tallied against most of you at some point. Absolute pleasure one and all.

Eric Cartman · 13-03-2011 06:13PM

well done to the winning candidates, best people for the job id say

PrivateEye · 13-03-2011 07:36PM

Well done to the Student Observer during the elections, it was as good as some universities official publications during campaigns. Loved the audio content. Top notch stuff from Dave and your man from Sligo.

Also, while I'm here, just gonna repost my words of thanks from FB:

Didn't get the chance to thank everyone who was featured on the updates and in the whole effort, so here goes: Paudi, Shmick, Bernard O'Mara, Neil Frazer, Aidan Rowe, Rob Munnelly, Aengus Ó Maoláin, Ruaidhri Boland, Laura Feeney, Declan Meenagh. Keith Broni, Fiach O'Neill, Gearóid Brennan, Cathal Óg Donnelly, Oisin Nolan, Maura Gerrihy, Deirdre Duffy, and Alan Coyne.

You have no idea how much Thursday meant. Thank you all.

PrivateEye · 15-03-2011 10:42PM

USI: Sad to see Aengus missed out, would have been a new chapter in there. Really think some of the SU types with decent views should have considered the idea of contesting the presidency. Getting in there so soon after re-affiliation would have been great for NUIM.

USI report on Conference:

My article for the Student Observer on what Redmond's re-election means:
http://studentobserverireland.wordpress.com/2011/03/15/opinionre-election-of-gary-redmond-a-worrying-sign/

In 1996, the student registration fee stood at £150. To present a 2010 increase of €500 instead of €1500 as a victory is insane. The fact is the Union of Students in Ireland have failed to realise that lobbying against fees is not sufficient to defeat fees. The self-congratulatory attitude to the march in November from many within the union proves this. Such marches, when not part of active campaigns, are merely glorified photoshoots.

AdmaialNimitz · 16-03-2011 08:18PM

So are we all ready to kick off again with the By-Election?

I'm guessing 5 of the candidates who didn't win last time round.

BuroniKiisu · 17-03-2011 12:49AM

I've heard of 7 people considering running.

declan06 · 17-03-2011 02:21AM

None of the ones I know have contested election this year
And I will not be running

daffodil14 · 17-03-2011 01:30PM

7? thats a fair amount

LeixlipRed · 17-03-2011 05:11PM

Duddy · 18-03-2011 05:28PM
