    Surely since you have a time frame can they not go through and see who shouldn't have been in the apartment block at that time???

    I can't believe that some people would stoop so low as to break into someones apartment and vandalise like that! It's appalling! (That's the nana coming out in me!) I hope you are all ok though and aren't too shaken up by it. Keep in touch with the residents office and make sure they know! Were any of the doors damaged and did they steal anything?
    I hope that all this cattyness ends. I know I had originally posted that everyone was being nice but now when I think of it, it's getting quite catty. Some people are basing their campaign purely on slagging other people off. How do they expect to get votes for a role on the students union when all they have done is proven to everyone that they are rude, lazy and bullies! Rant over!

    On the free bar ex,
    It costs 300 euro for a licence and 300 euro for staff,
    If we had a free bar ex with 3 euro drinks and a theme like 70s, and an exec DJ, we would make money from the bar or at least break even.

    On the carbon neutral union, it's something to aim for, and if we could let a geography student do a project on it then we could make an impact.

    In general, there isn't a lot in the remit:

    The other two things I want to do are promote special events funding and work with clubs and socs officers to make a sponsorship handbook for clubs and socs.
    For more info go to www.declanmeenagh.com
    Sorry for the rambling nature of this post, but I'm sleep deprived. :D

    I wasn't going to bother arguing your points but feck it, it's friday night and I got sent home from work cause it's dead and I'm far too tired to go out. :D

    Correct me if I'm wrong but are we(NUIMSU) not limited in the number of bar ex's we can hold due to licensing reasons. i.e. we're allowed 1 every 2-3 month? Even if not, this is hardly a ground breaking idea, there's no way the SU haven't thought about having a monthly bar ex. If they could be making money off more bar ex's, they would be.

    Despite what you say in your manifesto, making the SU carbon neutral will cost money, not save. How do you plan on paying for it?

    Your two main manifesto points are unachievable.

    I quite like your plans for clubs and socs though and your pledge to help improve the website.

    Ps: I don't mean to sound bitchy.

    Nope, they have 15 per year, and they aren't using all the ones they can. I agree that this is a risk, but at the moment the SU is throwing money at events that students don't want, so why not give this a try. If we keep at it it could take off and work.

    I might have made a mistake here, my understanding is that steps can be made to reduce your carbon footprint which save money, but I am doing research this weekend, if anyone has links I'd appreciate it.

    one of the strongest manifestos possibly....but not one of the strongest candidates

    as for VP Comms and Dev, our Rob is by far the man for the job

    Also, I really do think she's one of the strongest candidates! She can bring so much more to the SU, and I think her goals are really quite achievable!

    I do think Rob's the best candidate for VP Comms and Devs...best man for the job!!:)

    You're her campaign manager, so clearly, you are going to say that. ;)


    Rob is clearly getting VP Comms this year though. More members on his campaign page than any other candidate I've seen. Come on Rob!

    Dunno, David Tuohy is a visible, popular guy.:eek: VP Communications and Developemt will be a close one, that's for sure.

    I'm one blood pressure level away from going down to Capel Street and strangling the tshirt printing people. Should be here tonight or tomorrow morning. Could ye leave it any later, lads? No rush or anything:rolleyes:

    I know it may come across like that, but I hadn't really heard of boards.ie and then I saw Lou on it one day and decided that it looked good so I joined! Of course I think she's going to win, that's why I asked to be the campaign manager. i think the ideas are really good and wanted to help her win!
    I honestly want Rob to win...seems the best and most honest out of most of the campaigners for other roles! Some people are getting quite bitchy about the whole thing! keep it clean people!:):)

    Not being bitchy, just thought it was a bit odd the way you were getting annoyed about people saying Lou joined to pimp her campaign, when that's exactly what you did.

    I don't really give a crap, I'm just saying, as other posters have said, I wouldn't be surprised if more than half of the new members *mysteriously* disappeared after the elections are over.

    I suppose yeah...but that's not the only reason I joined, but that's how it looks, so sorry! I won't be *mysteriously* disappearing, I like it here! :p

    Two more and my FB group gets to 400 members, and nearly all of them are from Maynooth. This, along with randomly seeing my posters in people's windows, and people comng up to me in Brady's and Mantra and O'Neills and The Roost is really encouraging. This is amazing. We might actually get a real, quality newspaper and website next year. Go team Maynooth!:D

    Why not be creative and make one yourself? Plain t-shirt, t-shirt printing paper in tesco for a few euro! Bingo!
