Being a republican I would more likely be a member of Ogra or Eirigi tbh!

Personally I supported the sit in.



So, you got that wrong son, better luck next time.

It was Éirigí, Workers Solidarity Movement, Ógra Shinn Féin and the 32 County Sovereignity Movement and the SWP.



You can see the White, Green and Orange Sinn Féin banners.
The Black and Red WSM banners.
The Red and Yellow SWP banner.

Fair play to all of them.

You want to back that up with information? Perhaps a link or is that more official Ogra Fianna Fail opinion?

The group is currently considered a Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO) in the United States as the group is considered to be inseparable from the Real IRA, who are designated as an FTO.[11] At a briefing in 2001, the spokesman for US Department of State stated that "evidence provided by both the British and Irish governments and open source materials demonstrate clearly that the individuals who created the Real IRA also established these two entities to serve as the public face of the Real IRA. These alias organizations engage in propaganda and fundraising on behalf of and in collaboration with the Real IRA".[12] This made it illegal for Americans to provide material support to the Real IRA, requires US financial institutions to block the group's assets and denies alleged RIRA members visas into the US.

This is completely OT but they would be regarded as the political wing of the "Real IRA" and would be strong supporters of the release of all "IRA P.O.W.s" in Irish and UK prisons including those that killed Irish citizens and gardai. I dont think they would be designated as a terrorist group as they are 'political'. They would definitely be a very murky organisation though.

They would be the RIRA political wing as far as I know.

I would not support a career politician as career politicians are entirely ineffective when it comes to running a large organisation or country. The only way forward is to have those specifically knowledgeable in a certain area to make the decisions on that area. Supporting G.R. only further diminishes the likelihood of career politicians being a thing of old, instead it gives the whole system a tank of fuel to stumble along further. Bah!

That is what the Seanad tries to do but it is severely fúcked up and useless.

...really? What did they accomplish other than taking the focus off the main reasons for the student march?

Send them off to England with all the violent ****heads rioting over there! They'll fit right in!

Mardy Bum

The march was by and large, a failure. Educational grants were cut and the reg fee was increased. It may not have increased by the amount originally mentioned in the media but this was only put out to soften the blow by FF.

No matter what was done by the USI this was going to happen regardless.

I agree with some of that. Where were all these fanatical anti-FF folk 3 years ago? They didn't ask any questions when we had full employment and low taxes. In fact most of them probably supported government policy. Now with the benifit of hindsight they were against FF all along and saw this crash coming:rolleyes:

In the 2007 elections Labour and Fine Gael promised big tax cuts and increased spending. There were the really irresponsible ones and now they pretend to be the voice of the people and that they were warning everyone all along about the economy and banks. Show me where in the 2007 election manifestos that Fine Gael or Labour called for more banking regulation?

It should be pointed out that as far back as 2000 there were international monetary groups predicting financial chaos in Ireland. So I would not bang the FF drum too hard what with Bertie telling naysayers to commit suicide and that the "boom times would get boomer".

Of course, Labour and Fine Gael are being hypocritical and are thanking their lucky stars they did not win the last election, because if they did, they would be facing their own torch yielding mob too.

Anyway, I'm not too sure what this has to do with UCD, unless you want to read my property crash thesis from 2008 in the library!

Is that true? WTF has he been doing for the last seven years?

Messing about on non-stop sabbatical years whilst in various SU positions. That is why the SU cannot be representative of normal students, they never actually lead a normal students life. They only know about the extreme minority that actually care about SU elections and getting into D2 for free:pac:

I think I know him better than you. And yes people should be allowed to criticise their leaders and representatives but setting up facebook pages and online campaigns personnally attacking someone is a low blow and I'm confident the majority of students are better than that.

This is exactly what you've provoked here!

This thread now appears on a page one google search for "Gary Redmond". Well done grassroots_ff. It will also be there forever.

marglin

Gary Redmond wanted to use the money that students had paid USI in a campaign to get DCU to join.

As a DCU student, this gave me my no vote immediately. I'd prefer the money I pay along with my registration fee to go towards something that would benefit me, not something that would benefit USI.

Money-grabbing theif, like the rest of the FF-ers in this world.
