What is Comhairle / Class Rep Council?

Comhairle or Class Rep Council is the democratic heart of the IADT Students’ Union, a body of representatives elected from every course.

Comhairle meets once per month during the academic year, starting in October until June. They hold officers accountable, vote on policy and mandates, and shape the work of IADTSU more generally.

There can be 2 reps per course, per year, totalling 8 reps for a 4-year course.

If your course has multiple streams, there should be 1 rep per stream/discipline, per year.

Each course/stream elects its representatives, who must then register HERE.

The first meeting of Comhairle for 24/25 will be October 8th at 5:15pm.

Reports and

Accountability

To keep IADTSU Officers accountable, each officer has to present a monthly report of their work and expenses at each meeting of Comhairle. Class Reps vote on whether or not to accept the report.

This folder contains all of the minutes (meeting notes), reports, and supporting documentation from each Comhairle from 2023-Present.
