Meet Niamh O'Connell

Societies Chairperson

Hi everyone, my name is Niamh and I am delighted to be this year’s Societies Chairperson. I am a final year Arts and Human Rights student, studying Geography and Politics. I have been secretary of Rover Society for two years.

I understand and appreciate the value that societies have to students. Based on my own experience I can recognise both the benefits and difficulties that being on a committee can bring. I have made so many of my own friends in societies and it can be a nice way to break away from the rhythm of course work and assignments. 

Haigh, a chairde. Niamh is ainm dom agus tá mé an-sásta a bheith mar Chathaoirleach na gCumann i mbliana. Is mac léinn Dán agus Chearta an Duine mé atá sa bhliain dheireanach ag déanamh staidéar ar an Tíreolaíocht agus ar an bPolaitíocht. Tá mé i mó rúnaí sa Rover Society le dhá bhliain anuas.

Tá tuiscint agus meas agam ar an luach a chuireann cumainn le saol na mac léinn. Ó mo thaithí féin, tuigim na buntáistí agus na deacrachtaí théann le bheith ar choiste. Tá mé i ndiaidh aithne a chur ar an oiread sin cairde nua sna cumainn agus is bealach deas é chun sos a thógáil ón obair chúrsa agus ó thascanna.
