Something I came about in Maynooth:

They're the only active political party on campus, so they should have a role in any referendum

From Young Fine Gael Mayooth's discussion forum.

It is now official policy that yfg are against the ban on coke.
Here is the flyer/poster that you might see around the college explaining why:

The TRUTH behind the ‘Ban’ on COCA-COLA products
· The case was thrown out of the courts in the first instance.

· “no factual or legal basis for the claims” – Miami District court, Judge Martinez

· Columbian congress of trade unions condemns the ban.

· The allegations against Coca- Cola are entirely unproven and untrue.

· SIPTU, CUT, International United food workers, and the major unions in the US and the UK are all opposed to the ban on Coca- Cola products. Take their advice- Do not support this ban

· 10 out of 11 Columbian trade unions representing Coca-Cola workers also condemn the ban

· Coca-Cola was simply caught up in the crossfire of a bitter civil war involving left and right wing guerrillas

· Sinaltrainal ( the union making the claims) support the left wing guerrilla movement of which FARC and ELN are the main terrorist Organisations

· We live in a society where people are innocent until proven guilty and not the other way around.

Have your say, exercise your right. Show that you don’t support this ban.

The following beverages would not be sold in the SU shops:
Coca-Cola, Fanta, Lilt, BPM, Deep river rock, and Powerade.

The Student’s Union will lose thousands in business and it would cost student jobs.


Choice is your right.
Coca- Cola is your right.
Keep it that way.
