We have two great stocking fillers this year which are both raising funds for the Student Union charities: Console and BeLonG To. We have a 2015 Calendar or a set of 12 Postcards both featuring winning entries from the highly successful Capture Your Campus photo competition which was held at NUI Galway. They are a fiver each and all the money goes to charity as Standard Printers were really sound and printed them all for free for us! Both items can be purchased from the SU Shop or office and they can also be ordered online here:.

Yesterday, Socialist Party TD Ruth Coppinger made reference to high-profile members of Sinn Féin bullying Maíria Cahill on social media.

One particular twitter account (@capnblack) belongs to Alan Donnelly (aka Alan Ó Donnaille), brother of Sinn Féin councillor Paul Donnelly, who ran in the Dublin West by-election earlier this year.

Meanwhile…

On last night’s ‘Tonight with Vincent Browne’, Sinn Féin TD for Meath West Peadar Tóibín denied Sinn Féin members were involved in online bullying of Maíria Cahill.

Watch in full here.

“Have had to leave my manager. Not that we didn’t get on well, we got on too well, both fell equally in love.Had a month long affair, but he has a girlfriend, so naturally I gotta vanish. Extraordinarily sad and depressing, but there it is. Another manager bites the dust. So now I need to find a new manager and I haven’t a fucking clue where to start. Shoulda fucking thought about that before I got involved with someone else’s fella. Been secretly fucking miserable as a motherfucker since the second it started. Wasn’t at all proud of myself. Or him. Never, ever messing with someone else’s fella again. It’s the most disgusting thing a woman could possibly do to another woman. And it smacks of zero self-esteem.”

Yup.

“After the recent campaign against yet another tax forced upon the great people of Ireland, I decided to produce this track using actual audio I recorded at public marches, “No way – we won’t pay”. Irish water and the Irish Government need to listen to the people for once. We have been listening to them for too long. Democracy “is what it is”.”

Choon

FIGHT!
