Name:\u00a0<\/b>Ciar\u00e1n O’Brien<\/p>\n

From:<\/b>\u00a0Oranmore, Co. Galway<\/p>\n

Why did you decide to run?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I decided to run because I felt that the Students Union could do a lot more for its members, and I think I have the ability to make the changes which are needed to make the union better for everyone.<\/p>\n

Have you always been involved with the SU? <\/strong><\/p>\n

Not always. I’ve been a representative on the Student Council for a number of semesters. I have some experience volunteering in a conservation society but no activity in an established political party.<\/p>\n

What are some things you think the SU have done successfully? <\/strong><\/p>\n

I think that the SU has been successful with issues of gender and equality, but weak on issues such as the environment and student participation.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Why do you think you\u2019re the best candidate for the job?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I believe I am the best candidate for the job because I have a huge amount of past experience in relation to representing the student body and I can use that experience for the betterment of the Union.<\/p>\n

Why did you choose this position? <\/strong><\/p>\n

I chose to run for the office of president because\u00a0I felt that my previous experiences on council and the constitutional committee would be best put to use in that position.<\/p>\n

What skills\/qualities can you bring to the role?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I feel that I have crucial skills and qualities for the office of president and I have a\u00a0strong work ethic. I also have strong\u00a0experience in representation and policy-making environments.<\/p>\n

Favourite tv show<\/strong>: Robot Wars<\/p>\n

Type of friend<\/strong>: I’ve been told in the past I was the caring friend.<\/p>\n

SU Animal instead of\u00a0wolfie<\/strong>: Eagle<\/p>\n
