SU History

NUI, Galway Students' Union was originally established in 1911 as the Students' Representative Council. This council was short-lived, but the re-establishment of the body was proposed in 1913. The council was firmly established by the mid-1920's, and in the 1960's was formally developed into the university's Students' Union, then known as Comhairle Teachta na Mac Léinn.

Founded in 1964 the function of the Union as per the Constitution shall be "to represent its members and promote, defend and vindicate the rights of its members at all levels of society". Below are some highlights from the Unions past.
