Maynooth University Student Union Executive Elections Are Being Covered For The First Time

This year, for the first time ever, Maynooth University’s only student journal will be covering the 2023 SU Executive Elections. Also, for the first time in a long time, none of the positions are uncontested. 

With student engagement reaching new heights since the return to campus and the not-so-great student levy scandal, this may be the most intense, exciting race to date. This year we are bringing you all the important and exciting updates in one place.  

The SU Executive is made up of four roles: President, Vice-President for Student Life, Vice-President for Education, and Vice-President for Welfare and Equality. 

This academic year, your SU consisted of Niall Daly (President), Lucas Jeannoit (VP for Student Life), Alex Balfe (VP for Education), and Kealan Hilley (VP for Welfare and Equality).  

This semester you are being asked to vote for who you feel will best represent you in the following positions for the 2023/2024 academic year.
