Marching in style

Marching in style

In a month or so, we will surely have developed an aversion to awards shows and red carpets to last, well, ten months or so.

Thanks, Obama

In Obama’s last few weeks of office, he pushed through several acts in what seemed to be a last ditch attempt to secure his legacy before Trump got into office. He protected funding for Planned Parenthood clinics, promised to allocate 500m in funding the UN Climate Change initiative and commuted the sentences of over 500 people.

Ninety one thousand people seemed to agree, … [Read more...] about Seventy eight percent of statistics are made up. In 2016, half of the news you read was, too

#RocktheRegister: NUI Galway Students’ Union register nearly 400 students in voter drive

With the election of Trump and the matter of Brexit earlier on in 2016, it was good incentive for the NUI Galway Students’ Union (SU) to push for students to register to vote before the next general election. From 14 – 18 November alone, nearly 400 students had been registered by the SU. This push coincides with a nationwide campaign from the Union of Students in Ireland … [Read more...] about #RocktheRegister: NUI Galway Students’ Union register nearly 400 students in voter drive
