Trinity College Dublin Students' Union
- Trinity College Dublin Students' Union
The Students' Union's primary role is to provide a recognised representative channel between undergraduates and the University and College authorities. The Executive, the Finance and Services Committee and Sabbatical Officers manage the business and affairs of the Union. The Sabbatical Officers are: The President, Deputy President/Publicity & Publications officer, Welfare Officer, Education Officer and Entertainments Officer and are elected on an annual basis; all capitated students are entitled to vote. The SU President, Welfare Officer and Education Officer are ex-officio members of the College Board.
A rival on-campus student newspaper, the "University Record", which exists separate of the Publications Committee, is published every three weeks by the Students' Union. The "University Record", whilst independent of Pubs, is the voice of the Trinity College Dublin Students’ Union and is edited by the Deputy President of the Union. Many of the contributors are drawn from the ranks of class reps.

Campaigns
Coca Cola Campaign
In response to University College Dublin's ban on Coca Cola products due to treatment of Columbian factory workers,the TCD Student union banned the sale of Coca Cola from its shops.However it did not ban products owned by Coca Cola such as Cadburys chocolate and Coca Cola drinks are still on sale outside the shops from private vendors.This has led many to consider the campaign farcical.
