for ucd students. (1 Viewer)

[pad]

i know there are a number of ucd students who use this board so this is directed at them. for anyone else, sorry if this distrubs you viewing pleasure.
today the su president (aonghus hourihane) went on the pat kenny to condemn the participants in mondays reclaim the streets and praise the gardai's reaction.
anyway this is a letter sent to him by one of the other su officers (bernard cantillion). He has suggested (and i would likewise) that you either write a letter to aonghus, at [email protected] or copy this one and sign your name to it.

Mr. Hourihane,

I think that the comments you made this morning on the Pat Kenny Show were an absolute disgrace. Are you the President of a Student Union or a representative of the Gardaí. Can you not accept that the police disgraced themselves. How dare you say that members of our union should have been at home studying for their exams instead of involved in a protest. The demonstrators were attacked by the police who removed their numbers and started to beat up people. It is an indictment of you as a Union representative that you sided with the police rather than those among your members who were assaulted by members of the Gardaí. Do you really believe that what we have all seen on our television screens and in our newspapers over the last day could be construed as reasonable force. To suggest that because members of the Socialist Workers were present that they would necessarily be violent and behind any provocation which may have happened is shameful and shows your prejudice and naivete. Just because people are on the extreme left does not justify them being attacked by members of the security services. I do not share or support their views on many issues, but what I saw is usually called thuggery and it came from the so called Guardians of the Peace. I share the opinions that Ivana Bacik expressed this morning. It is astounding that a Union representative could believe the police above his members. Shame!

Yours in disgust and annoyance,

Bernard Cantillon

Yup, read that in the Indo today. It just goes to show the smug attitudes of Fianna Fáil hacks like him - the fucker is 21 or something and he has the same opinions as my Dad, ferfuxake.

I would email him if I thought it'd do any good but I know how this guy operates. He's a smug cunt and, well, I uh, had to get study done so I didn't bother. But I'll send him some gay porn later.

It's about three minutes in. Like it or not, what he says it what quite a lot of people think.

He sounds like an awful prick though.

Pat Kenny actually makes some good points.

It's followed by an Ivana Bacik interview, where she makes the point that the constitutional right to free assembly & political protest "trumps" the public order act.

Too bad RTS organisers spend so much time denying that it's political

 

[potlatch]

Hehe, yeah, Bacik's always good for that kind of stuff. Good article in the Indo today, too.

"He sounds like an awful prick though."

He is an awful prick, and as much as it pains me to say it he's quite an intelligent prick. Unfortunately he managed to get himself re-elected as su president this year, the guy he beat is sporting 10 stitches in his head thanks to our ever friendly police force.
Aonghus Hourihane is without doubht the most underhanded sneaky little fuck ucd has ever produced, and lucky for us he'll probably end up taoiseach, <edited>.
A nice bloke all round.

I have met that guy when I was in UCD and he is indeed a prick. I think what you said is also right- that he will end up running the country...
Frightening thought I know.
I have never been to a protest in my life but I will be there today.

 

[Ed]

He's a top class guy, has a wonderful talent for throwing tantrums and threatenting to sue people, allegedly he's planning to make and attempt to shut down the college tribune(ucds independent newspaper, the other one is funded by the students union so they tend not to criticise him) next year. I like him, i like him a lot.

<edited>. [this actually does have some foundation because the college tribune were threatened with legal action apparently if they printed a story about it] other rumors are <edited>.

i dont believe the second one though. he's too much of a facist.

 

[pete]

ehhh can we have less of the potentially libelous material please?

opinions - yes

unsubstantiated allegations - no thanks

please?

 

[herv]

oops. sorry pete. didn't think.

 

[fansap2]

Is anyone going to the protest at six?
I have heard that there is going to be seperate groups just looking to get a pop at the guards...goes without saying I suppose.

 

[herv]

where did you hear that from?

 

[fansap2]

Was on the news- could be a tactic to keep people away but you could imagine anyone with a gripe with the police going down hoping for a fight rather than protesting against one.

 

[pete]

it's the front page of the evening herald too

(Apparently at a press conference yesterday john o'donoghue was asked if he thought that a reduction in numbers of garda on the beat would help reduce street crime...)

 

[Goodbye]

I he the same cunt that banned The Slate from the campus?

 

[Ed]

it was a different cunt who had the slate banned, although he probably had something to do with it, thankfully the slate is still available in the campus shop.
