  • leading the opposition to proposals to re-introduce tuition fees
  • boycott coke in defence of the right to join a trade union
  • initiated the campaign against Anti Social Behaviour Orders which attack the civil liberties of young people
  • supporting Irish Ferries workers and the threshold of decency campaign
  • calling for the re-instatement of Joanne Delaney who was sacked for wearing a union badge by Dunnes Stores
  • demanding the payment of grants on time - the picture above shows members of Labour leading an occupation of Dun Laoghaire Rathdown Council in protest at late payments
