The Union of Students in Ireland sends its deepest condolences and love to the family and friends of Stephen Grogan, former President of USI (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.
