Bellow is a link to an feature in UCD's University Observer I was quoted in my campacity as Chairperson of UCD Labour on UCDSU's anti-fees campaign; "Gilmore 250". To be fair to the writer(who I believe is actually a Fianna Fáil member) he seems to have put together a pretty fair article... in fact I think if anything it favours Labour and my self and lot more than the Education Officer or UCDSU:

College Tribune Article: UCDSU protest UCD Labour Homeless Event
Gave an interview to UCD's College Tribune after the Students' Union protested a UCD Labour event on homelessness(during UCD's Homeless Week with St Vincent de Paul) because Jan O'Sullivan was attending as Minister for Housing. Meanwhile on the other side of campus Minister Brian Hayes talked to Young Fine Gael on the budget.
What made things worse is a week later when Enda Kenny was in UCD to open the new Students' Centre not only did UCDSU fail to protest, but they shared a platform with him and condemned those that did protest. Talk about double standards.
Not a great article with a pretty biased title and some creative editing that left out several mentions by me of Labour Youth being opposed to fees. But I knew going in it'd be a tough interview but thought it was better to get our side of the story in:
