University College Dublin Students' Union

University College Dublin Students' Union (UCDSU; Irish: Aontas na Mac Léinn COBÁC) is the students' union of University College Dublin. It is the largest students' union in Ireland.^[3][2][4]

The union was founded in 1975 as the successor of the Student Representative Council, with Enda Connolly acting as the organisation's first president.^[5] Its primary role is to represent its members views and defend their interests.^[6]

All students of UCD who are studying for a degree or postgraduate diploma of the National University of Ireland are, on registration at the university, members. In addition to its campaign work, the Union also provides a number of welfare and education services, operates three shops, manages an online second-hand bookshop and has a full-time accommodation officer.^{[citation needed]}
