Ms Nolan, Ms Dixon, Emma Langrell, Mazhural Chuderhury, Roisin Woulfe, Joshua Kavangh Kearns, Callie Maguire & Ella Fitzpatrick attended.
Today we were invited to the Dail by Jennifer Whitmore along with Blessington Community College. We arrived and took a 1 hour guided tour of the Dail. Our tour guide Gemma, showed us the different rooms in the Dail and outlined the history of the building and the people who lived in the building over the years. We were amazed by the attention to detail in the interior and the craftsmanship. We then met with Jennifer Whitmore TD of the Social Democrats Wicklow Constituency. Both sets of students outlined the challenges posed by using public transport when travelling to the Dail from our communities. Ms Whitmore said that she would raise this issue in leaders later today.
After that we took part in a workshop where we learned all about the Irish Constitution and we had an educational discussion about the legal age to vote. A great day was had by all! Thank you to Jennifer Whitmore for inviting us to represent our Green Schools Committee in the Dail.
