Profile for inclusion with election papers

By decision of the Governing Authority, candidates for election are invited to
submit a personal profile, not exceeding 40 words, which will be circulated with the
election literature. I have submitted the following:

"Postgraduate researcher in politics, specializing in civic education and
social exclusion; Daniel advocates the extension of college outreach
programs, an equality-based agenda, a governing authority more responsive to
students and staff, and protection of the university's independent role in
society."

Nomination for graduate positions on UCD governing body

Thanks to Councillor Aidan Culhane and my mother Theresa Barnes for today nominating me to stand for the Election by Graduates of Members of The Governing Authority of University College Dublin. Thanks also to former governing authority member Frank Buckley for his advice and encouragement, and also to Michael McLoughlin of the National Youth Federation.
