Union Council Meetings 2023/24
Your class elects a Representative/s to sit on Union Council and represent you. Union Council consists of all the Class Representatives (Reps) as well as members of the Executive Committee (Exec). Your Class Rep is a key link between your class and the Exec
Each class can elect at least one Rep (or more than one depending on the size of the class). All students can stand for nomination as the Rep for their class and need to collect 25 signatures or nominations from their class.
Depending on the number of positions available for that class, the student is either nominated as the Rep or if the position is, contested then a vote of the class will be held.
If you want to become a Class Rep, you need to:
- Pick up a Class Rep Nomination form from either; The Information Desk, or if you are in Thurles from Jimmy in the the MISU Office.
- You will then need to collect 25 signatures (nominations) from members of your class - if you have less than 25 people in your class, that is fine just let us know!
- Ensure that the completed form is returned to either; The Information Desk, or if you are in Thurles to Jimmy in the the MISU Office.
If nominated and elected as the Rep for your class, you will need to;
- Introduce yourself to your class as their Rep
- Attend the fortnightly meetings of the Union Council
- Update your class on MISU’s work and what was discussed at Union Council
- Raise any concerns, issues, or suggestions that your class has with MISU
