'AMLÉ' (Aontas na Mac Léinn in Éirinn) is the new name for the Union of Students in Ireland. It's a direct translation. It came into effect on 13 May 2025. The rebrand reflects the desire of the organisation to promote the use of the Irish Language.
The Union of Students in Ireland sends its deepest condolences and love to the family and friends of Stephen Grogan, former President of AMLÉ (1989-1990) whose funeral takes place today, Thursday.
Stephen from county Mayo, also a former President of GMIT Students’ Union, played an important role in not only the student movement, but also in the battle to legalise abortion in Ireland, and a range of other social issues.
Stephen bravely stood up for the right to information during a time when abortion was illegal in Ireland, even being named in a court case by an anti-choice organisation for doing so. His legacy will be long remembered.
