Belfast Queen’s University students voted in favour of Irish Language and Trans officers in a campus-wide referendum. The referendum results are a welcome step forward in recognising the role that Irish speakers and Trans citizens play in our society and on university campuses. 
Irish speaking students are entitled to the same rights as enjoyed by citizens who live their daily lives through the medium of English and this is a progressive move by QUBSU.
