Are Ográ Fhianna Fáil against free education?

[Rufty]

The NYC can't take a stand either which way because there is no clear line coming from the membership. Many split opinions coming from grassroots with various cumainn taking both sides of the argument. Would make for a great debate at the next Youth Conference/Árd Fheis.

Well I know that in NUIG they are split 50/50.

In UL they voted against College fees in a landslide.

The UCC branch seems pretty set against them also.

UCD (or was it TCD?) I believe voted strongly for fees.

Cork South Central shall be reviewing them in a month's time, as the meeting last Sunday failed to produce any results.


The story with the other Cumanns, I am unsure about.


Also: For the love of god there's no "h" in Fianna Fáil.

UL voted 60:40 against to correct you.

UCD are 90:10 in favour according to the Chair who I was speaking to on Wednesday.

Those who can pay should pay, however it's complicated in UL as the SU President' politics as a FF member have been called into question in FEE (aka Socialist Youth) saying his personal politics have coloured his committment to the Students' Union's anti-fees stance.

ULSU is Anti-Fees. full stop

UL Ógra is 60:40 Anti-Fees.

I have attempted to get the Union to see sense and engage, and lead nationally as it has in the anti movement, but to no avail. It is a pity considering the access personal affiliations of 2 of the officers may afford the union.

We will facilitate this in UL as we plan to have a consultative after the Ard-Fheis.

There is no 'h' in Fianna Fáil. But i think you'll find the correct spelling of the youth party should actually be Ográ Fhianna Fáil. Ográ Shinn Féin managed to get it right I don't know why ye can't!

Incorrect

it would be Cathaoirleach Ógra Fhianna Fáil

Uachtarán Fhianna Fáil

"Of" being what requires the seimhiú
