hi folks.

Just seen Batt O Keefe leave NUI Maynooth. The S.U actually held a meeting with him. Told nobody.
He was here to officially begin the new building work.
A member of FEE seen him and made his feelings known, but we couldn't organise around this at all.

The S.U had forewarning but still chose to welcome O' Keefe. This is a disgrace in itself. Other S.Us, like U.C.D, have actively supported protests against visiting ministers, while ours sits on their hands and does nothing.

FEE intend to step up actions on campus as a response to this act by the S.U, who have let themselves and our student body down.
