We call upon the UUSU President to publicly apologise for the damaging motion proposed by him at a UGM on November 11th and its destabalising effect on community relations at the Coleraine campus.

Futher we would call upon future Presidents in a sign of respect for the poppy and to ensure relations with the local community remain cordial to participate in wreath laying at the Cenotaph in Coleraine. At a time when the President of the Republic of Ireland is prepared to engage with the poppy and lay wreaths we believe the UUSU President should follow suit. We believe this to be a suitable start to resolving issues arising from the motion passed on November 11th.

    • This is a reprehensible and disgusting attempt by the supposedly impartial students' union body at UU to politicise remembrance of those who lost their lives in the two world wars.

    • I think that the coparison of the poppy & the easter lity is fundamentally wrong. The poppy being a symbol of rememberance of those who died in 'just' wars, whereas, the easter lily is to commerate terrorists who killed legitamate soldoers & innocent people in the country.

    • let them wear the lily if they want, but there is no comparison with remembering men who gave their lives for freedom for all people and men who took the opportunity to stab their fellow countrymen in the back while they were fighting elsewhere. A cowardly act, quite consistant with republican ideals.
