David Burns, of the UCD Students’ Union, writes:
UCD Students’ Union, TCD Students’ Union and Daft.ie are working together to create more student-specific bed spaces in Dublin ahead of the 2016/17 academic year.
The campaign idea is simple: encourage Dublin homeowners [or tenants who have permission to sublet] to let out spare rooms as digs to students by advertising the available tax incentives. Under Irish law, homeowners don’t have to pay tax on rental income earned from digs unless it exceeds a yearly cap of €12,000.
TCD, UCD and Daft.ie are promoting this information with geo-targeted adverts online which will be featured on DoneDeal.ie, Adverts.ie as well as a joint social media campaign.
The project is valued at €8,000 and features blog post testimonials of positive experiences.

Ah now.
The UCD Naked Calendar 2016.
Finally.
David Burns writes:
UCD Students’ Union have pledged to raise €100,000 for registered charity, Youth Suicide Prevention Ireland (YSPI). They’ve recruited 530 students in support of this challenge as part of a major campaign which culminates in a mass charity skydive and a naked calendar.
They’ve raised over €10,000 so far and hope to raise a further €30,000 by selling 3,000 naked calendars for €10 through campaign participants and on campus shops. All proceeds will assist YSPI reduce levels of youth suicide in Ireland through a classroom based programme, The Four Steps to Help, provided free of charge to secondary schools around the country.

It’s like, totes on.
Monday night.
Dustin Lance Black at UCD on the May marriage equality referendum.
A memorable speech.
But don’t take our word for it.
Ian Fahy, auditor of the UCD Laaw Society, writes:
I would like to draw your attention to a speech delivered by Oscar-winning screenwriter of Milk (2008), Dustin Lance Black at an event to confer him with Honorary Life membership of the UCD Law Society.. Black’s boyfriend, British Diving Champion, Tom Daley also attended the award event.
He delivered an impassioned speech about the strength of storytelling and the effect it can have on winning the upcoming Marriage Equality referendum in Ireland.
It was truly one of the most incredible speeches delivered to the UCD Law Society and has been recognised as such by long standing University officials.
Black is an internationally recognised advocate for Gay rights across the world and took time to specifically come to Ireland to deliver this speech in the hope of having some impact on the upcoming referendum.
He reminisced about his youth and the struggle he faced with coming to terms with his own sexuality – something that was extremely difficult and dangerous coming from a Mormon-Texan-military family. He called for the youth of Ireland to tell their own stories, something that he claims is the most powerful form of achieving positive change.
My term as Auditor is coming to end, and over my last three years in UCD I have never felt so strongly that an address to our society needed to be published in the national media. I genuinely believe this video if shared can have a real and positive impact upon the Marriage Equality referendum. All I ask is for you to please watch this 18 minute clip (above), and see for yourself.
UCD Students’ Union last night voted against a motion (above) supporting the legislation of marijuana in Ireland
Bummer.

Students in University College Dublin (UCD) against a motion supporting the legislation of marijuana in Ireland. A conservative bunch in the UCDSU. if they’re like this in their early twenties what will they be like in 20 years time? What is the world coming to?
Objection.
OVERRULED.

We’ve come up with our annual Law Ball music video and we’d like to see what you think….
Hopefully it’s not as cringe as last year’s one and we might get some action on the night.
Action on the night?
Or no action?
Only YOU can decide.
This year’s ball takes place at Dunboyne Castle, Co Meath on February 10.
