In a recent interview, you said that the “Ents adventure” – which would divide people up into groups of 40 for a mystery weekend based on their assessed personality types – would cost around €100, then €70, then lower. Have you given any proper thought to the subject at all in terms of structure, pricing and funding?
-
Despite agreeing that binge drinking culture needs to be stopped, you also proclaimed that everyone’s “favourite part of a night out” is “recovery” food to “piece it all back together” while “[hiding] behind a giant croissant”. If you support sensible drinking, why do you link big events to subsequent hangovers?
-
Your distinction between entertaining students and marketing events to them is an astute one. It’s based on feedback, which your manifesto talks up a lot – how do you propose to solicit feedback from party-goers, and how do you incorporate it meaningfully?

With student supports drying up and no signs of improvement to struggling academic facilities, do you think it is a conscientious idea to spend thousands of euro on “a creative space” for student bands?
-
Is Christian Grey, the character that you invoke in your materials, a misogynist?
-
You want to revamp the “Ents night”. This is hardly a new current of thought in candidate manifestos – could it be that student society socials and JCR Halls nights are too popular to allow for weekly Ents events?

-
You propose a designated Ents budget for weekly society events. What’s the logic in paying from SU funds for what the CSC already pays for?
-
What precisely are the practical objectives of a “student innovation fund”, and why is it a matter for entertainments?
- Your manifesto addresses a number of subjects and puts forward a number of ideas, but none are addressed with particular depth or insight as to their achievability. Where’s the logic in this?
