He wants to become auditor of University College Dublin’s Literary & Historical society.
Pretty badly.

Who Breaks A Butterfly Upon A Wheel?
Suzanne Lee, who will appear before a disciplinary committee today, said she is aware she may be expelled, but does not regret her actions.
“I’m not from a background that most students in this university are. I worked before I came here…I would rather defend people like me and their access to education and if that requires me getting expelled, (so be it),” said.

Demolish the Arts block
UCD’s contribution to a chalk-based global art project with a plan to make a wall in the college’s Newman building where students ’can write what they aspire to do before their time is done’.
This cannot end well.

Four People. No Direct Hit
Pretty hen-believable, to be fair.

Oh.
Hello.
“The way decision are made in this university is such that a very small number of people, of the staff, in fact 20 per cent of the whole staff make the decisions which affect the rest of the university. That would mean 100 people in all make decisions that affect 10,000.”
Ruairi Quinn, (above), March, 1969.
Fancy that.

How the bloody hell does a student bar on the largest campus in Ireland lose money? How does a student bar go bust with 750k debts? WTF There is now no bar at all in UCD.

Do You Remember Neil Munro?
The Obama heckler from Friday.
Irish and well…
James Keaney writes:
Causing a bit of hoo-ha Stateside – a journalist from the conservative “Daily Caller” interrupts the President during his speech on ending the deportation of over a million undocumented youth. Ironically the journalist who interrupted and asked if the policy favoured “foreigners over Americans” is an Irishman and UCD alumunus Neil Munro.
Were you in UCD in the mid-90s?
Perhaps Neil heckled you too.
Leave details below
Meanwhile, Neil Munro interviewed by Sean Hannity on Fox News last night:

Who’s Her Daddy?
Clue: he bought his phone the year she was born.
Yes, it’s Aoife Kenny.
She’s running for Irish Language Officer in UCD.
As she says herself: “Tá an Ghaeilge láidir i gCÓBÁC agus ba mhaith liom í a dhéanamh níos láidre fós an bhlian seo chugainn. Is mar gheall ar seo go bhfuil sé ar intinn agam ritheadh d’Oifigeach na Gaeilge san SU.”
Which is easy for her to say.
Evidently.
Also: Aoife appears to be opposing current Fine Gael policy on the Irish language.
Awkwardini.
