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:

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!

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/AMLCT 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!

The Electoral Commission runs all elections and referenda held by the Students’ Union, ensuring clarity and transparency. No member of the EC may hold another position in the Union, although the Chair of the EC is also the Chair of SU Council.

The Oversight Commission (OC) are responsible for managing and maintaining the Union’s policy. Any student in the College can ask the OC about existing Union policy and whether the Union has executed it. The Chair of the OC is also the Secretary to Council and can be contacted if you want to submit a motion or item for discussion.
