Organisation and Services
There are currently five full-time sabbatical officers (President, Campaigns Officer/Deputy President, VP Education, VP Welfare, and VP Commercial & Communications) combined with a number of voluntary or non-sabbatical positions, which are elected each year by the students.
The Union employs 3 other full-time members of staff directly (an administrator, a secretary, and an entertainments/common room manager) and a number of part-time student help. The Union also provides other services to students - jobs portal, the Nitebus service, education advice & grinds, welfare advice & free condoms, a second-hand bookshop, etc.
The Union holds 2 directorships on Student Facilities & Services Ltd. (SFS Ltd.) as well as the Chair of its Board of Management. The President is also a director of Maradyke Arena Ltd. and UCC Accommodation Ltd.
The Students' Union has 2 publications; a fortnightly newspaper, The UCC Express, and a monthly magazine, Motley. While the Express and Motley are editorially independent the management and support functions are carried out by the Media Executive.
