CSPE Oireachtas Visit

CSPE Oireachtas Visit

A second year group of CSPE students in Hazelwood College, Dromcollogher were treated to a special visit from the Oireachtas Education Officer Ms Raftery who carried out an exciting workshop based on Irish Democracy and the work of the Oireachtas. The students learned much about voting and how important it is for every eligible citizen to have his say at election time. One Student remarked “ I cannot understand why any person with a vote, would not go to cast that vote. After all that one vote could make a huge difference”.

Local TD John Cregan gave a short presentation and took questions from the students afterwards. The Oireachas Education Officer was most impressed with the warm welcome bestowed from the school and wished all the students well for the future.
