Paddy Rockett won't run again.
Possibly Patrick Mulcahy for president. I know people are trying to persuade him to run.

How would people evaluate this years officers?

AFAIK Paddy cant run again, even if he would like to. Council brought in a term limit of 3 years last spring IIRC.

I thought Paul Austin had to go back to the army in September? Maybe I'm mistaken.

At this rate Paddy will end up being the next Dj Ber in Stables, never leaving UL!

Forgive my absent-mindedness, what week exactly are elections again? After RAG week right?

There are rumors that Brian Stewart is considering going for president- he's always been so firmly involved in the union.

Heard that Cathal Ronan is thinking of running for welfare or else PSU president.

Think he would be a fine candidate for either.

Brian Stewart is 95% confirmed for it, having spoken to him recently.

Paddy has done a fantastic job from all reports, will be a great loss if he decides not to run again.

Darragh Roche going for welfare. Another fine candidate who would slip into the role, will be a tight battle between him and Cathal.

Emma is doing a fantastic job.

Catríona has been great to deal with the few times I've had to.

It would be more polite if I said nothing about Paddy, so I'll keep my mouth shut. If you can't say anything nice, better to say nothing at all ;D

Since the Rumor mill has started I must state publicly that I am seeking nomination to the role of President.

Naw ! Only messing kids! No! Dear God no! I am not running for election this year. Every year of my term has had me involved in elections in some way shape or form. It has been a massive privilege to work for and represent you and my time has come to (As a wise man put it) "step out into the night and pursue that flighty temptress, adventure"

I cannot wait to see the standard of students running this year. I have been approached by 2 students interested in my position and one thing is for certain each position is going to be hotly contested.

But other than that, its a no for me running for election again, Christ I should have Big Dons job by now.

Tally ho! and Best of luck to anyone thinking of running - My door is always open if you want to have a chat.

Paddy
Soon to be not ULSU VP/Academic
DUN! DUN! DUUUUUN!

Well thanks and good luck to officer Rockett. The last of the poisoned Daly dynasty. I certainly hope current officers have learned from the previous one's mistakes not to run again. Looking at you here Emma porter, your time is done, get out and get a job.

I could really brian stewart in the head position, brings a bit of craic/common sense to SU politics and be nice to a students' student on the cmte rather tham some board serving prick.

let's try stay on topic and stay civil guys. can we spare a thought for the poor taxi drivers of castletroy cabs who are losing their gravy train at the end of this year.

let's just say if emma porter was a biscuit she'd be a soggy rich tea, never met someone so bland in my entire life. you'd almost miss dodgy deccy.

I think the transparency this year was welcomed, for example Officers declared their expenses publicly.
Having said that it should have been done the previous year!

i have absolutely nothing against Emma Porter, he seems like a lovely 15 year old boy Im sure he's great craic to play fifa with.

now Catriona Ni Dhonnchu, she'd be a hobnob, looks a bit plain at the start, but so full of texture they are very distinct.
