    Liable for correction on this but I think the KBC (Kevin Barry Cumann, FF) just about got more than YFG in Fresher's week. LabourYouth has an active enough membership, as do Ógra Shinn Féin (no idea on numbers for any of these though).

    YFG and KBC have pretty much equal membership. Ie: >300
    The others are pretty small in comparison.
    Activity and actual membership are two different things of course.

    They are the only ones who care about the union:D
    I think Duffy said he wanted it to be active in society, which means more *yawn* protests to help Labour issues. :(

    But Enda Duffy has totally toned down his involvement with labouryouth in order to get elected.Apparently according to his observer and tribune interview he is merely a 'member' of labouryouth.UHHH he's the chair of the pat upton brach the most extreme labouryouth branch in the country!He also has seemed to have completly toned down all his policies for his election campaign,suddenly he is great pals with USI!I think its really bad for people to water down their principles to win a vote

    Panda, do you have aspirations as a political commentator?! What do you think of Enda's motto "action not words". I really hope he sticks to it in future! His ramblings really get to me sometimes...

    KBC is definitly the largest and defenitly has less that 380 members. Read it in a national paper.
    Both of these I remember because I thought it halarious that dutchsoc was bigger than UCDs largest political society
