Sabbatical Officers
Three full-time sabbatical officers which work in the Student Union for the students of the University are elected on an annual basis.
The current officers are:
- President- Adam Moursy
- Deputy President/Welfare- Cathal Ronan
- Vice President/Academic- Paddy Rockett
The Union represents UL Students at many fora within and external to the university. Until 06/07, ULSU had only four full-time officers - the Vice-President/Communications & Campaigns Officer position was discontinued and a new Vice-President/Publicity & Publications Officer and a Vice-President/Campaigns & Services Officer took office. In the first semester of the 2008/09 academic year the title of the Vice-President/Publicity & Publications Officer was changed to Vice-President/Communications to better reflect the role. The Union employs seven other full-time and numerous part-time members of staff and owns a company, ULSU Services Ltd., which runs the 4 Students' Union Shops on campus

Famous quotes containing the words sabbatical and/or officers:
“In the past, it seemed to make sense for a sportswriter on sabbatical from the playpen to attend the quadrennial hawgkilling when Presidential candidates are chosen, to observe and report upon politicians at play. After all, national conventions are games of a sort, and sports offers few spectacles richer in low comedy.”
—Walter Wellesley (Red)
“No officer should be required or permitted to take part in the management of political organizations, caucuses, conventions, or election campaigns. Their right to vote and to express their views on public questions, either orally or through the press, is not denied, provided it does not interfere with the discharge of their official duties. No assessment for political purposes on officers or subordinates should be allowed.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
