It's true, he's joing the oldest constituency organisation in the country - at 78 he's their youngest member!

He's Nuala Ahern MEP's father.

FF Dun Laoghaire might be mpore younger than their counterparts in the Labour party but their young people are careerists. You shouldn't be boasting about people like Ronan O'Keeffe, Jenny Allen and Ciarán O'Shea.

Ye are all careerist sleeze.

With 380 votes in the General Election McDowell will make a great addition to D/L Labour - no wonder he's not running for re-election to the local county council!

I'm sure the "careerist" members of D/L Ógra will be pleased with the free PR - it might help their careers!

P.S. the UCD College Tribune is a fascist rag filled with "careerist" hacks that have no lives.

Long Live Fianna Fáil!

FF members are careerists why else would they join FF.

BTW The publicity that FFers get here is of no use to them fuck all people here vote FF.

Another thing I would agree with you about the UCD College Tribune, it is full of careerist hacks that could to with a few lessons in journalism. I am opposed to left wing and right wing careerists unlike yourself.

I think you'll find that many student journalists are pretty damn careerist and certainly don't try to hide it. I've been proud to work with the College Tribune for the past year, it's a newspaper with some very talented and in some cases brilliant people who provide a massively important function for UCD students. Those contributors with strong left-wing views don't try to hide them and the paper's few opponents are generally quite bitter in their arguments. Mistakes are made of course and certain articles and stories in the paper do annoy or offend but on the whole it's an excellent and improving publication.

The Tribune, by the way, is out today, as are the nominations for the Smedia (student media) awards in which I think both the Trib and the Observer will feature well in.

This FF hater guy is really a shite stirrer. He is just coming on here to stir it up a bit. That's why he's attacking The College Tribune et al. I bet its the same person that's calling himself "gg" who is stiring it up on another thread.

Just to say I believe the UCD College Tribune provides much need balance to the UCD Student Media and also keeps the hacks in the UCD SU in line. Best of luck with the award!

On YFF - there are bad apples in every organisation, the poor FFers can't help themselves.... have pitty, other examples of losers:

LAB Emmett Stagg (Newspapers in a park)
FG Michael Lowery (Back Handers),
PDs Michael Keating (VAT & DRUGS),
College Tribune Alison Gibney (Drugs & Lies),

Cheers,

Max.
