Leckaun N.S. Dáil Visit

Pupils from class upwards were invited guests of Senator Michael Comiskey, Dáil Eireann on Tuesday June 12th. Senator Comiskey, a former pupil of Leckaun N.S., along with his wife Elizabeth, hosted pupils on their Dáil Chamber and Senate Chamber visit. Pupils also dined in style at the Dáil restaurant whilst viewing Dáil and Senate proceedings live on flatscreen televisions within the dining area. The full attendance of elected members in both chambers for lively and heated Tuesday morning sittings provided an ideal opportunity for celebrity spotting for all the pupils. The visit to various ministerial and Senate offices and state rooms was greatly appreciated and enjoyed by all.
