It was a busyweek for Mr Declan O’Donoghue’s Politics and Society classes at St Brendan’s College, with visits from national leaders followed by a trip to Leinster House.

On Monday, Taoiseach Micheál Martin visited the school, where he met students and staff and toured the facilities. He held a question-and-answer session with senior Politics students, discussing national and international issues and the value of young people engaging in public life. The Taoiseach described St Brendan’s as a school with a long and proud 165-year tradition and praised its commitment to opportunity and learning.

The class also welcomed Ministers Norma Foley and Michael Healy-Rae, Senator Mark Daly and Kerry TDs Michael Cahill and Danny Healy-Rae.

On Tuesday, the fifth and sixth year classes travelled to Dáil Éireann, where they visited the Seanad and committee rooms and observed proceedings on what was a busy day, with the Cabinet reshuffle taking place. The trip was facilitated by Deputy Danny Healy-Rae.

The visit was supported by Ms Kelleher, Mrs Gorman and Mrs Sweetman.
