Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 41. He's a loyal member of Fianna Fáil
2. His hatred of anything to the left of the Labour Party (he hates Labour too)
3. His Machievellian approach to SU politics
4. He appoints his cronies to positions such as Accomadation officer.
5. He is homophobic
6. He gave the Gardaí information on protesters that were assaulted at RTS in May
7. He, and his FF cronies, are in control of a number of Societies that act as FF covergroups (eg. F1 Soc, PhilSoc, C&E)
8. At the time of the last election these societies campaigned for him illegally.
9. His hair cut, his head is like a badgers arse.
10. He wants to go for a 3rd term
11. He is liar
12. He's from Offally
13. He gets loyal support from the Agricultural Science Faculty
14. He's even hated within FF in UCD, the Hourihane and Tierney-Crowe factions hate each other.
15. He fully support the re-introduction of fees.
16. He has a vitriolic hatred of the Campaign for Free Eduation.
17. None of the full-time SU officers have the guts to stand up against him
18. He's a bully
19. He has a view of women that comes from the 1950s
20. He wants UCD to disaffiliate from USI because he will never get a career out of USI, because every student activist in the country hates him.
SIPTU are taking him on over firing an SU employee recently according to Phoenix.
I'm not in UCD Belfield, but I would imagine that Hourihane also actively campaigned for a 'Yes' vote in the Treaty Treaty Referendum? Another reason to hate Hourihane.
The above information about Aengus is incorrect and confused. He is not alleged to have sexually harrassed employees of the student union.
He has verbally abused employees of the union (allegedly), and most recently has sacked one such employee for gross misconduct. In fact it is Aengus who should be sacked for gross misconduct.
Allegations regarding sexual harrassment and Aengus refer to him allegedly sexually harrasing members, not employees, of his union.
It is for this reason that Aengus is spending a large amount of students money on legal fees defending himself . And yet he is set to push for disaffiliation from USI on the grounds that USI is wasting students money!
As for the assumption that Aengus campaigned for a yes vote - rubbish. Aengus doesn't campaign for anything but himself.
