A friend of mine, Keith, just began a new job today. He’s been elected head of communications with the Maynooth Student Union, meaning his job will entail getting the student newspaper and relevant guidebooks out to the student body.
As you’d expect in that line of work, there are some excellent archives about with great insight on student history and activism. On his first day in the job, he thought this worth sending along!
It’s from 1983, and is an excellent piece of social history, taken from the First Year Guidebook of the time. Joe Duffy’s time at USI was exciting and action packed, a long way removed from what one finds inside that union today it could be said!

Come Here To Me! 
What a gem!! Joe has always been a man of the people it seems. Also, it’s all about the message rather than the smooth talking. This reads sufficiently roughly to come across genuine!
