Yes. The Union is a legal person in its own right and therefore becomes a
data controller. Names and other personal data are given to the Union by
individuals for processing by the Union. Oh, I'm glad I was a president 10
years ago and not now! Chaos always seemed to reign and I don't expect it's
changed. An interesting example is that most universities used to pass
lists of new students on to the Union at the start of term. Not sure how
legal that will be now.
Good luck!

We are discussing data protection with our Students' Union - can
anyone let me know whether the SU should have a separate registration
with the Data Protection Commissioner?
Many thanks
