== James Mulhall ==
Aka The Traitor was a promising young first-year student who was studying general science. There was high hope for James to take a senior position on the committee in 2016-17. Unfortunately, a terrible accident occurred and James heard about UCD. Driven mad with the poor living conditions of Corrib village, James soon turned to the Darkside. He is now UCD puppet with a mission of causing as much mayhem as possible for NUIG MC. His most recent attempt to sabotage the 2016 first semester trip to Kerry, fail miserable as the craic was still had but be weary, this is the first of many attempts to come so please keep an eye out for this suspicious individual.

== Liam Lang ==
Aka Lila is the 2016/17 Hiking vice Captain. This is quite an extraordinary achievement for Liam, who once got lost walking to Tesco. He is currently studying Engineering with the dream of becoming a head civil engineer on Trumpf's great wall. Often times this strange individual can be found steaming some sort of semi-editable food while continually repeating the phrase "It'll be fine". He has high hopes for the club in the future and dreams of turning it into the form filling club (FFC for short). It is actually a lie that Liam was born with his beard. There is photographic proof of this, altho it is rarely seen.

== Damien Egan ==
Aka Damo is currently studying Engineering with Liam. It's been rumored that this is how Damo got such an important role on the committee when he is clearly more interested in table tennis. There is an unusual correlation between his attempts of climbing at the kingfisher and the number of injuries at the wall. The most popular theory for this is being from Athlone he has an irresistible impulse to cause damage. If you see this person DO NOT FEED. He may become violent with you in order to get access to the rest of your food. Spray with cold water to deter .

== Ciara Mc Ellistrim ==
Aka Kerrygold is a born and breed Kerry person with the driving skills of a tortoise. She is easily visible at great distances, which makes here a great point of reference on hikes and an even better PRO. Her natural habitat is the climbing wall where she regularly attempts to do mundane things such as pull-ups, planks, and bouldering. Daddio (Aka Padhraic Mac Maghnuis) can often be seen showing beginners Ciara footwork as an example of what not to do. She's easy to make friends with, all you have to do is ask her would she like to play poker with you.

== Hannah Jansen ==
Aka The juggler is possibly the exact opposite of Lila. Lila has no the idea of where he's going, Hannah, on the other hand, has no idea where she from. This is due to the PTSD she is suffering from her days as an elite Swedish commando. She was conscripted into the army for 2-4 years. No one is quite how many but all we know is its multiple. She recently turned 21 and instead of cash as a present she asks everyone attending to give IKEA vouchers. Also, likes horses.

== Francesca Rocca McAllister ==
Aka Tinderella is a bubble loving person until she plays spoons. Upon entering a game of spoons, she will viciously attack her opponent until the match end, returning to here natural docile state (swiping on tinder). Usually only seen hiking but has recently started to attend climbing too much confusion of the regular members. Fran has a long lost brother Fernando how is quite evil, do not approach if seen.

==Ruairi O'Hogartaigh (RORO)==
[[http://nuigmc.com/wiki/index.php?title=Ruair%C3%AD]]
Aka Veggie Monster. Ruairi has kept the fact he is a veggie monster a closely guarded secret. Never getting tired,never getting cold(often seen in shorts), not eating anything from an animal and shedding their skin at a full moon are some traits of a Veggie monster. Never seen on hikes as he is always 2 Kilometers ahead of the group with his superior Veggie monster speed. It is rumored that he has a lair somewhere in the Connerna Mountain range. Their main food source is Bananas and Oreos, peanut butter and bananas, rice and bananas and their most favorite is bananas and banana bread. Beware of Phillipe! Also is a VEGAN, he asked us to let ye know

==Daddio==
Aka Padhraic Mac Maghnuis is possibly the best climber in NUIG. When asked about when he gets his talent from he responds "I owe my shit looks, oversized ego and amazing climbing skill to the ropes and harness I found in my parent's room when I was younger". He was born with the name Padhraic Mac Maghnuis but changed it in 2016 to Daddio to fit into his role as the clubs daddy. Favorite game is spoons, loves a bit of man on man.

== Pierce Hosey==
Aka Posies, is a climber and reputed ginger.
Often seen trying to attract girls by talking about 'cracks' and 'nuts', he has been known to have to turn back from attempting to hike up hills as small as 20m.
Some say that he is simply terrified of solid ground.
A simple man from Carlow, Pierce has not yet been introduced to concepts such as electricity or fire, and as such should be treated with caution.
Not to be confused with [http://nuigmc.com/wiki/index.php?title=People#Ciara_Mc_Ellistrim Ciara Mc Ellistrim].

==Rover Bandits==

'''Cathal Breathnach'''
Aka Charley is an old young member of NUIG MC. He has a strange habit of getting into incidents with reindeer. The last one left him with a broken arm. He is the lead singer of the boy band called Rover Bandits.

'''James O’Connell'''
Aka Jiggles is the first Kerry man ever to go aboard. Due to the lack of traveling that Kerry people do, James immune system is very vulnerable. This causes him to regularly get food poisoning when in a foreign county. As with all male Kerry people they reproduce through their toes, which explains his weird obsession with feet. Lead drummer in Rover Bandits.

'''Fionn Delahunty'''
Aka Fino is the Designate driver/Lead Guitarists of the Rover Bandits. Fionn use to be a very reckless and had not a care in the world, was until he ran into the land shark. Since then he has become a much more serious character in the club and has started the land shark survivors group.

==The Wild Rover==
Traditional
I've been a wild rover for many's the year
I've spent all me money on whiskey and beer
But now I'm returning with gold in great store
And I never will play the wild rover no more

And it's No, Nay, never,
No, nay never no more
Will I play the wild rover,
No never no more

I went in to an alehouse I used to frequent
And I told the landlady me money was spent
I asked her for credit, she answered me nay
Such a customer as you I can have any day

And it's No, Nay, never,
No, nay never no more
Will I play the wild rover,
No never no more

I took up from my pocket, ten sovereigns bright
And the landlady's eyes opened wide with delight
She says "I have whiskeys and wines of the best
And the words that you told me were only in jest"

And it's No, Nay, never,
No, nay never no more
Will I play the wild rover,
No never no more

I'll go home to my parents, confess what I've done
And I'll ask them to pardon their prodigal son
And, when they've caressed me as oft times before
I never will play the wild rover no more

And it's No, Nay, never,
No, nay never no more
Will I play the wild rover,
No never no more

==The Fields of Athenry==
Pete St. John
By a lonely prison wall
I heard a young girl calling
Micheal they are taking you away
For you stole Trevelyn's corn
So the young might see the morn.
Now a prison ship lies waiting in the bay.

Low lie the Fields of Athenry
Where once we watched the small free birds fly.
Our love was on the wing we had dreams and songs to sing
It's so lonely 'round the Fields of Athenry.

By a lonely prison wall
I heard a young man calling
Nothing matters Mary when you're free,
Against the Famine and the Crown
I rebelled they ran me down
Now you must raise our child with dignity.

Low lie the Fields of Athenry
Where once we watched the small free birds fly.
Our love was on the wing we had dreams and songs to sing
It's so lonely 'round the Fields of Athenry.

By a lonely harbor wall
She watched the last star falling
As that prison ship sailed out against the sky
Sure she'll wait and hope and pray
For her love in Botany Bay
It's so lonely 'round the Fields of Athenry.

Low lie the Fields of Athenry
Where once we watched the small free birds fly.
Our love was on the wing we had dreams and songs to sing
It's so lonely 'round the Fields of Athenry.

==Rattlin' Bog==
Chorus:
Ho, ro, the rattlin' bog
The bog down in the valley-o

And in that bog there was a tree
A rare tree and a rattlin' tree
And the tree in the bog
And the bog down in the valley-o
Chorus
And on that tree there was a limb
A rare limb and a rattlin' limb
And the limb on the tree
And the tree in the bog
And the bog down in the valley-o
Chorus
Now on that limb there was a branch
A rare branch and a rattlin' branch
And the branch on the limb
And the limb on the tree
And the tree in the bog
And the bog down in the valley-o
Chorus
Now on that branch there was a twig
A rare twig and a rattlin' twig
And the twig on the branch
And the branch on the limb
And the limb on the tree
And the tree in the bog
And the bog down in the valley-o
Chorus
Now on that twig there was a nest
A rare nest and a rattlin' nest
And the nest on the twig
And the twig on the branch
And the branch on the limb
And the limb on the tree
And the tree in the bog
And the bog down in the valley-o
Chorus
Now in that nest there was an egg
A rare egg and a rattlin' egg
And the egg in the nest
And the nest on the twig
And the twig on the branch
And the branch on the limb
And the limb on the tree
And the tree in the bog
And the bog down in the valley-o
Chorus
Now in that egg there was a bird
A rare bird and a rattlin' bird
And the bird on the egg
And the egg in the nest
And the nest on the twig
And the twig on the branch
And the branch on the limb
And the limb on the tree
And the tree in the bog
And the bog down in the valley-o
Chorus
Now on that bird there was a feather
A rare feather and a rattlin' feather
And the feather on the bird
And the bird on the egg
And the egg in the nest
And the nest on the twig
And the twig on the branch
And the branch on the limb
And the limb on the tree
And the tree in the bog
And the bog down in the valley-o
Chorus
Now on that feather there was a flea
A rare flea and a rattlin' flea
And the flea on the feather
And the feather on the bird
And the bird on the egg
And the egg in the nest
And the nest on the twig
And the twig on the branch
And the branch on the limb
And the limb in the tree
And the tree in the bog
And the bog down in the valley-o

==Come out you Black and tans==
I was born on a Dublin street where the Royal drums do beat
And the loving English feet they tramped all over us,
And each and every night when me father'd come home tight
He'd invite the neighbors outside with this chorus:

Oh, come out you black and tans,
Come out and fight me like a man
Show your wives how you won medals down in Flanders
Tell them how the IRA made you run like hell away,
From the green and lovely lanes in Killashandra.
Come let me hear you tell
How you slammed the great Pernell,
When you fought them well and truly persecuted,
Where are the smears and jeers
That you bravely let us hear
When our heroes of sixteen were executed.

Come tell us how you slew
Those brave Arabs two by two
Like the Zulus they had spears and bows and arrows,
How you bravely slew each one
With your sixteen pounder gun
And you frightened them poor natives to their marrow.

The day is coming fast
And the time is here at last,
When each yeoman will be cast aside before us,
And if there be a need
Sure my kids wil sing, "Godspeed!"
With a verse or two of Steven Beehan's chorus
