Trinity College Dublin Students' Union - Aontas na Mac Léinn, Coláiste na Trionóide

Council (also referred to as Comhairle, they are one and the same) is the Union’s primary decision-making body, where students meet to discuss issues, and vote to set Union policy on everything from electrical outlets in lecture theatres to unpaid internships.

While only elected members may vote at Comhairle, all students are welcome to attend, to contribute to discussions, and to take part in shaping the future of Trinity.

The elected members of Comhairle include Class Representatives, Course Convenors, Faculty Convenors, Part-Time Officers, and Sabbatical Officers.

Comhairle is organised and run by the Chair and Secretary to Comhairle and any queries regarding Comhairle can be directed to This email address is being protected from spambots.

There are a number of Comhairle Sub-Committees, which support the Sabbatical and Part-Time Officers in their roles.
