President’s Foreword
Focal ón Uachtarán
It’s not easy to be a student right now, but the power of the collective student movement is not to be underestimated; and whilst our year in office has not been without its challenges, as we come out the other side, there are many successes and wins for us to reflect on, and it’s difficult to single out the highlights, but I will do my very best!
It won’t come as a surprise to anyone that one of our busy weeks this year was Raise and Give, or RAG week, when we put particular emphasis on the Giving part! Perhaps the most fun was had at the Dunk Tank, when the bravest of nominated lecturers, staff, and students took the plunge in icy cold water, but not without reason; we are proud to say that throughout the year we raised a whopping €27,000 which will go directly to supporting the work of our chosen SU charities, GOAL and Galway Rape Crisis Centre.
We have tried to put a particular emphasis on getting more students engaged with the SU this year, be it through understanding the work of the SU, turning up to our events, accessing our supports, voting in the officer elections, or putting yourself forward as class rep. Our efforts were successful, and we saw the second highest voter turnout ever, as well as a 20% increase in registered class reps, and the first ever Cumas class rep election.
We have also seen increased representation from the student body on high level university committees and panels, and whilst everything is certainly easier said than done, and we have not achieved all we would have in an ideal world, this has led to some transformative changes for students, such as the abolishment of library fines and over €70k worth of fines being forgiven.
A personal favourite of the year for me was the opportunities to engage with other Students’ Unions across the country through AMLÉ, and the support and knowledge we gained from sharing experiences with other officers in similar roles, but with vastly different perspectives and experiences. This provided so much insight into how to deal with problems we faced, many of which other unions have had to address before. A special thanks to the AMLÉ officers who were always willing to lend a helping hand, be it giving advice relating to University Governance, or just handing out Rudaí Áille bags and ice creams on campus!
We have also had the opportunity to meet with several Government Ministers and TDs during the course of the year, to discuss with them the reality of the issues students are facing on the ground. Most recently we met with several of the Galway West by-election candidates, to hear and share their views on key issues to students, as well as highlighting some of our key concerns.
None of these triumphs (and learning curves!) would have been possible without the efforts of the entire SU; and so we owe a massive thank you to our staff, Chris, Joanna and Lorna, who keep the ship afloat and steaming in the right direction, to the CÉIM Team, Amber, Órla, Kerry and Drew, who provide the most organised and thorough programme you can imagine, to all our part-time officers, who so generously donated their time and energy and provided endless ideas, to all our class reps who showed up to represent their peers at some very long and late Monday evening Comhairles, and to all the students who are members of our union for their engagement. We have also received great support and advice from many university staff, both professional services and academic, particularly from Ciara Meehan, and the whole student services team, and we are thankful for the increasing opportunities to be ‘in the room where it happens’; long may that continue to grow, till we have equal representation from both staff and students! Finally, to Seán, Paddy, and Rachel-Áine, the most wonderful Vice-Presidents I could have asked for! We could not be more different, and I think that has been our greatest strength. I have always been able to rely on a difference in opinion or alternative perspective to keep us on the right path, and we have had so many shared wins to celebrate. I’m sure your futures are all very bright, whatever you pursue!
The very best of luck to Seán, Eimear, Cathal, and Molly. I have no doubt you will do an absolutely fantastic job of your time in office and will continue to promote the values and mission of our Union to the fullest extent.
Go raibh míle maith agaibh, agus go neirí an Bóthar linn uilig!

Mission Statement/Highlights
Ráiteas Misin/Buaicphointí
Comhaltas na Mac Léinn Ollscoil na Gaillimhe, University of Galway Students’ Union was originally established in 1911 as the Students’ Representative Council. This council was short-lived, the re-establishment of the body was proposed in 1913. The council was firmly established by the mid-1920’s and in the 1960’s was formally developed into the university’s Students’ Union, then known as Comhairle Teachta na Mac Léinn.
Founded in 1964 the function of the Union as per the Constitution shall be “to represent its members and promote, defend and vindicate the rights of its members at all levels of society”.

Executive Committee 2025/26
Coiste Feidhmiúcháin 2025/26
SU Council Comhairle an Chomhaltais
This year there were 519 elected Class Reps ranging from Undergraduates, Postgraduates, Adult Learners and part time learners. This represents a 20% increase in the number of Class Reps compared to the year prior.
The first round of elections for all taught students took place in September. We worked with the Office of the Deputy President and Registrar to circulate a guide for academic staff on the process of electing Class Reps. This guide helped academic staff understand their place in supporting but not interfering in student democracy.
Class Rep elections for Postgraduate Research students were first held over the Summer after working with the Dean of Graduate Studies to try improve PGR engagement and representation. This effort was successful as we did see a rise in the number of PGR Class Reps. This year elections took place fully online using YourSpace.
This year saw the continuation of an e-Learning module for Class Reps. However, this continuation happened alongside the return of in-person Class Rep Training for the first time post-covid. We saw strong engagement in this training to an extent even greater than we anticipated. With this in mind, the in-person training will hopefully be expanded year on year. Comhairle was hybrid this year which allowed students the flexibility to join meetings online or in-person. This meant students on satellite campuses or those on placement could participate online. Our Comhairlí this year had a continuously strong level of engagement with significantly more motions proposed than in previous years resulting in the two hour guillotine often being extended. New Standing Orders were adopted by Comhairle to refine our procedural motions, bringing them closer to those used for AMLÉ’s Comhdháil, while still being suited to our needs.

CÉIM Peer Learning Piarfhoghlaim CÉIM
The CÉIM peer learning programme continues to grow and was offered to approximately 2,000 1st year students in 2025/26. CÉIM supports 1st year students’ transition to university, academic success, health and wellbeing, skills development and progression.
Supporting the 1st year experience
Initiated and centrally coordinated by University of Galway Students’ Union in 2013, CÉIM is a proven model for providing small group academic peer learning on a weekly basis throughout the academic year.
2025/26 highlights
• CÉIM had over 2,000 interactions with 1st year students during Orientation this academic year. Two hours of Orientation teambuilding and campus tours were delivered again this year to 600 students in the College of Science and Engineering.
• There has been increased focus in CÉIM sessions this year on developing students’ questioning, critical thinking and academic integrity skills, and critically discussing AI.
• Efforts were ramped up to coach individual teams of CÉIM leaders to further support leaders with session planning and group dynamics and this has proven very beneficial.
• CÉIM was successfully piloted in Agricultural Science and Physics this year. In 2026/27, the programme will be launched in Earth and Ocean Sciences; Marine Science; and Financial Mathematics and Economics.
• The CÉIM team presented at the ENLIGHT Teaching and Learning Conference in Uppsala, collaborated with Minnesota State University and look forward to collaborating with peer learning colleagues in Scotland.
How CÉIM works
CÉIM is based on the well-evidenced Peer Assisted Study Sessions (PASS) or Peer Assisted Learning (PAL) model operating in over 30 countries. Student leaders from higher years facilitate weekly study sessions for small groups of 1st year students, creating peer-led learning communities where it’s easy to ask questions.
CÉIM helps me connect with other people in my course and provides me with all the tools to help me succeed.

CÉIM has greatly improved my communication skills and made me inspired by being able to make positive impact for first years.

The Feel Good Fair included stands from the RSA, the Irish Blood Transfusion Service, Galway Samaritans, GOAL, the University Counselling Team and the University Sexual Violence & Harassment support. The Marie Keating Foundation attended with their mobile information unit and Galway Simon had a pop up shop.
Seachtain Gaelach
The Seachtain Gaelach campaign in November included dancing, ceol, movie screenings, coffee mornings, Gaeilge 24 and Flirt FM takeovers.
SHAG Week
In November our SHAG Week events included a campaign highlighting the many supports available for student sexual health. We also had a charity rodeo night at Sult with the Dicktator Rodeo Bull and live music from “The Viking” Tony Cunningham.
There was free rapid HIV and Syphilis testing with Sexual Health West, free STI testing at the Student Health Unit, Disclosure Training with Galway Rape Crisis Centre and our sold out Sex Toy Bingo.
Accommodation Campaign
At the start of September we distributed flyers and posters as part of our “Room for one more?” campaign trying to source more accommodation for students.
Consent Week
Our Consent Week took place in February with lots of great events including Rapid HIV and Syphilis Testing, Disclosure Training, STI Testing at the Health Unit and the ever popular, sold out, Sex Toy Bingo.
Seachtain na Gaeilge
Seachtain na Gaeilge was held over three weeks in March with a great array of events including Céilís, housing protests, Flirt FM takeovers, trad sessions, talks, workshops and amazing gigs from Grooveline and Colm 7 na hEasógaí at Sult.
Free Period Products
The SU and the University continued distributing free period products across campus to tackle the issue of period poverty among students and staff. The pilot stemmed from an initiative launched by the SU in 2017.
Palestine
We worked with various groups on and off campus to raise awareness about the war in Palestine and the BDS movement through highlighting talks, panel discussions, film screenings, vigils and protests. Our Referendum in March passed with a massive 2,595 students voting in favour of the Students’ Union demanding that the University cut all ties with Technion.
Environmental Initiatives
The SU Climate Crew met throughout the year to try to find ways to make the university and their lives as ecofriendly as possible. The Eco Café was held each month giving students a safe space to discuss their environmental concerns. We held lab coat and goggle recycling drives in September and May so that these can be passed on to other students rather than being dumped.
Sustainable Development Goals Week in September included workshops, panel discussions, beach clean ups and a quiz. We held a Post College Christmas Day clean up to try to make Galway a cleaner, greener place. We hosted secondhand pop up shops with Galway Simon Community.
In Semester 2 Wasted Week had some great events including a vape recycling drive, a swop shop and a panel talk.
We held our Donate Don’t Dump awareness campaign about recycling at the end of the year in conjunction with the Glassary sustainability project.
Spéir, the Student’ Union Pantry, continued to open twice a week during term to distribute free food to students that would otherwise have gone to landfill. Spéir hit a major sustainability milestone with 51,190 kilograms of surplus food redistributed by the Students’ Union in 2025. This is equal to 121,881 meals and has saved 118,761 kilograms of CO2.
Road Safety Awareness
During the year we hosted the Road Safety Authority for campus visits which included setting up a Fline Box so students could experience what being breathalysed is like. There was also a beer goggle challenge, VR headsets and free high vis to highlight road safety.
Postgraduate + Mature Student Events
Our Officers held many events for the Postgraduate and Mature Students on campus during the year. These included a Postgrads and Unions talk, a Postgrad Quiz night, Postgrad coffee mornings, events looking at sustainability in research, Postgrad karaoke, a Bring a Plate event, mature student study groups and a children’s book day. Other campaigns
We worked with Sexual Health West to hold regular free rapid HIV testing and syphilis testing clinics on campus throughout the year with over 80 students getting tested. We also distributed free condoms, lube, period products, pregnancy tests and drug testing kits.
We had monthly pop up Alcohol and Drugs information drop in sessions with the Western Region Drug and Alcohol Task Force. We also had pop up advice clinics with the Citizens Information Service
We held monthly donation drives of hygiene, personal care and household cleaning products for Galway Hygiene Hub. Donations went to The Hygiene Hub’s community partners in Galway who include COPE Galway, Galway Simon Community, Galway Traveller Movement and St Vincent de Paul, among others.
During exams we extended our service opening hours and, of course, gave out lots of freebies to get students through the exams.
We took part in protests, campaigns and events on issues such as student fees, the cost of living, housing, Postgraduate rights, Palestine, nursing student rights, Gaeltacht housing and Irish Language Rights.
We administered the T-Fund giving autonomy to students to make their own informed decisions on what they feel is necessary for their social transition.

SPÉIR
Spéir the Students’ Union Pantry is a system where food is collected through FoodCloud, an organisation creating links with local supermarkets to redistribute food and reduce food waste. The collections consist of surplus food, food with damaged packaging, end of line items and food that is nearing its sell by and best before date. This food is then distributed twice a week to students attending the University of Galway instead of ending up in landfill, with the pantry aimed at reducing large amounts of waste in supermarkets. Spéir is located in the Library basement opposite the SU Síbín. Our Spéir staff are all students.
LOCKERS
The Students’ Union rents lockers in various locations across campus. This year we took over the remainder of the lockers in the Clinical Science building and got some of our older lockers replaced with fresh new ones. We also have summer lockers for students on campus during the holidays/sitting repeat exams.
STUDENT LEAP CARDS
The Students’ Union is an agent for the Student Leap Card which gives great student discounts on travel.
STUDENTS’ UNION SÍBÍN
The SU Síbín is a social space located in the basement area of the James Hardiman Library. There is seating for 40 students and ample charging points. It’s open 9am-5pm Monday-Friday during term time with extended opening hours during exams. The space is non-commercial which makes it popular for students to catch up or pass time between lectures. Additional investment in the space to install ventilation and water would make it a suitable space for microwave ovens which would greatly enhance its appeal.
STUDENTS’ UNION CLOAKROOM
The Cloakroom is run and managed by the Students’ Union and is open 9am-6pm Monday-Friday during term. Cloakroom staff are all students and the service is provided free of charge to students. The Cloakroom has extended opening hours during exams.

SU Finance
The Students’ Union financial year runs from 1 July to 30 June. The information below relates to the financial year ending 30 June 2025, with comparative figures from the previous year included for reference.
The Students’ Union operates with an annual budget in excess of €1 million. Financial activity is divided across three separate departments:
• Students’ Union General Activities
• CÉIM
• Spéir & SU Síbín
Each department receives an allocation from the Student Levy and effectively operates with its own ringfenced balance sheet. This structure ensures that resources and activities are managed responsibly and that funds allocated for specific purposes are protected and used accordingly.
The Union’s main income is the Student Levy which is a payment made by our members in addition to other college fees and charges. Additional income is generated through services such as locker rentals and Student Leap Card commission. The Students’ Union’s commercial services company also contributes €36,000 annually towards Students’ Union activities.
As an organisation, the Students’ Union exists to serve its members, and all expenditure is incurred in the interests of students. Expenditure for the year ending 30 June 2025 remained broadly in line with the previous year. More than 50% of the Union’s total expenditure was invested directly in representation and services for students.
Overall, the Union is in a financially stable position thanks largely to the careful management of its resources by the entire students’ union team. As students provide the majority of the Union’s income through the Student Levy, we are conscious of our responsibility to manage these funds carefully and to ensure value for money.
The Union also remains mindful that it operates as a private sector organisation. Maintaining a strong balance sheet and appropriate cash reserves is essential to ensuring the long-term stability and sustainability of the organisation and the services it provides to members.
The financial statements for the year ending 30 June 2025 are publicly available on the Students’ Union website. For further information on the finances of the Students’ Union, please visit our website www.su.universityofgalway.ie.

Transactions relating to these activities are recorded separately to ensure transparency and appropriate financial oversight.

At present, the costs involved in CÉIM are met through the existing Student Levy allocation. However, as the programme continues to expand and develop, we expect costs to increase proportionately. Fortunately, the University has committed to providing financial support to ensure that CÉIM continues to support our members.
