'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.
We are disappointed at today’s judgment in Belfast with the dismissal of petition X, the request to recognise a lawful same sex marriage in Northern Ireland.
The court battle has indicated that it is ultimately up to legislators to change the standing of Northern Ireland when it comes to the equal right to access marriage for same sex couples, and the student movement across Ireland, North and South, will not rest until legislators commit to equality for all #MakeGráTheLaw
Students from NUS-AMLÉ and the Union of Students in Ireland gather at the steps of Stormont to call for Marriage Equality for Same-Sex couples in Northern Ireland
