On September 22 2022, the University Board formally de-recognised the Graduate Students' Union (GSU) due to a number of unresolved issues in its administration. TCD Students' Union organised the election of postgraduate representatives to the following College Committees:
These positions are a temporary measure to ensure that there is no gap in representation. If postgraduates decide to stay within TCDSU, formal positions will have to be established for future years.

Faculty Convenors are the primary representatives of their respective academic faculties. They sit on their faculty executive committee with heads of schools, and on the College's highest academic decision making body, University Council. They also chair their respective Faculty Assembly, which hears local issues from class reps and school convenors — local issues can be anything. Can't access the necessary course materials? There's a broken seat or water fountain in your building? You're not being supported on placement? Reach out to your Faculty Convenor!

I work with the school convenors and class reps to resolve any problems that STEM students may have. I also represent all STEM students on several committees, including the University Council, and chair the STEM Faculty Assembly. A large part of the role is helping students one-on-one.

Part-time officers (PTOs) sit on Union Forum (UF) alongside the sabbats, faculty convenors, and commission chairs. At UF meetings we report on our work, draft Council motions/discussion items, and resolve any issues with how TCDSU is running. Part-time officers exist so that students with an interest in a particular area can channel that energy into intersectional campaigns, ensuring that the Union is working for everyone who needs it!
I fight for equal rights on campus to create a vibrant, inclusive environment. From organising Gender Equality Week to leading protests, I am on the frontlines, raising awareness and sparking meaningful conversations about gender-related matters. I work to ensure that everyone has an equal voice, collaborating with different groups and implementing policies that empower individuals impacted by inequality.

I’m focused on making sure the Union is doing what it needs to do to engage you, its members! My work is both behind the scenes, where I lobby for making our institutions more accessible, and face-to-face, where I directly reach out to students during campaigns, elections and Freshers’ Week. If you’ve got a complaint or an idea for how we can do better, feel free to get in touch.
