A number of Students' Unions have discussed the issue of the jailings of Joe Higgins TD and Cllr. Clare Daly, who is a former DCUSU President. UCDSU passed a motion of support for bin tax protesters. The Executive noted the severity of the sentances for Joe and Clare and the mass opposition to the 'regressive' bin charges. |

good work sus. will any mobilisation of the subjects be going on?? oh i do hope so. we should get as many students as possible along to the bin tax protests.
good to see the rad wing of usi out and about.
"rad man ... fukkin rad..... cmon clare" - a rad wing member earlier on this year
now that they've discussed it, what are they going to do about it? ALL SU officers in the Eastern area should be out on the demo on tuesday not just a few, they should also mobilise their members! Last year Joe Higgins was a great support to students, now is time to help him and Clare out!
Apparently even the 'radical' Paul Dillon of UCDSU wasn't even too happy with a Sabbatical Officer attending the High Court on Monday where a member of his SU could have been sent to prison for a month! SU officers- stop your ego trips and get down to the work of camapigning for the end of draconian laws that jailed Joe and Clare!
ho ho ho
tee hee hee
i wonder who UCD hack is? all of about 4 people id say.
and why the ' ' around 'radical' paul dillon? id dont remember him standing on a platform announcing his own 'radicalness' "im a right radical so and so am i" - do you?
he has is and always has been labour left. did he ever deny that?
make a point.... not a bitter rant.
i too aggree that all su s and tu s should stand behind joe and clare.and im sure they will.
_______cut here ray, if your in da club _______

Paul Dillon ran as a kind of radical Labour leftie or something,he I am guessing is too busy eyeing up the girls (plenty of lickarses in SU) and planning drinking nights. He must have came under some pressure, and it wasnt from goddamned Regan either. For fucks sake these two are as right wing as any FG etc. hack

Ah yes, paul Dillon is a secret FGer, I see it all now - that's why he became involved in CFE and took part in plenty of direct action - he was trying to impress Enda Kenny!
Last year Dillon stood on a programme in the SU class rep elections that clearly stated that Class rep trips away were junkets/piss ups for hacks. And that he would use his position on council to have training take place on campus.
Now when in power he is organising the junket and free booze paid for with students money.
A clear sell out.
Look some Unions are backing the Bin tax campaign.
the best way to get more on board is not to criticise those who do. Don't let personal vandettas get in the way in the campaign.
