Dáil Éireann

Thugamar cuairt ar Dáil Éireann inniu lenár gComhordaitheoir Pobal. Caithfidh mé a rá gur bhain mé an-thaitneamh as an lá. Bhuaileamar leis an Aire Oideachais, Jan O'Sullivan, ann. Labhair sí leis na daltaí ar feadh tamaill agus sheas sí isteach do ghrianghraf ar chéimeanna Teach Laighean linn. Tá Músaem Seandálaíochta na hÉireann díreach in aice leis agus é saor in aisce mar sin chaitheamar uair a'chloig an-thaitneamhach ann. Ar ais linn chuig an mbus agus stopamar ar an mótarbhealach ag Junction 14 le haghaidh greim le n-ithe faoin ngrian. Cheannaigh na buachaillí uachtar reoite do na daoine fásta ar fad ... chomh bródúil astu! Lá álainn ach traochta anois agus cuntas míosúil le críochú!
We visited Dáil Éireann today on a trip organised by our Community Coordinator. I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed the day ... the sunshine was an added bonus! We met Jan O'Sullivan, our Minister for Education who took time out of her busy schedule to speak to the children and pose for a  photograph on the steps of Leinster House. Once we finished our tour of  the Dáil we popped into the National Archaeology Museum (it's right next door and more importantly for us ... FREE!) We spent a very enjoyable hour wandering around the exhibits. Back on the bus we headed for home, stopping off at Junction 14 on the motorway for a bite to eat under the glorious blue skies. Some of my very generous boys bought 99s for the adults ... I was so proud of this very thoughtful gesture! A great day, wrecked now and I still have to finish my cuntas míosúil ...yuck!
