Turas Scoile chuig an Dáil
le hÓdhrán Ó Nuanáin agus Alan Ó Máirtín, R6B
Ar an 26ú lá de Mhí Feabhra chuaigh R6B agus R6A ar thuras scoile chuig an Dáil. Thaistealaíomar ar an Luas go dtí an chathair. Thuirlingíomar den Luas ag Sráid Dhásain.
Thugamar cuairt ar an Seanad. D’fhreagair John an treoraí ár gcuid ceisteanna, ar nós conas a bheith i do pholaiteoir, struchtúr Rialtas na hÉireann agus cén áit a shuíonn na Teachtaí Dála. Chuamar chuig an Teach Íochtarach ach ní raibh duine ná deoraí ann mar tá rialtas á chruthú acu faoi láthair. D’inis John dúinn cá suíonn an Ceann Comhairle, an Príomh Aire, an Taoiseach agus Lucht an Fhreasúra nuair a bhíonn díospóireacht ar siúl.
Ina dhiaidh sin chuamar chuig an bpáirc súgartha i bhFaiche Stiabhna. Bhí an t-ádh linn go raibh an ghrian ag lonradh go gléigeal ar an lá.
Ar deireadh thiar thall shroicheamar an scoil ag a dó a chlog. Bhíomar ar mhuin na muice tar éis lá iontach sa Dáil.

School Tour to the Dáil
le hÓdhrán Ó Nuanáin agus Alan Ó Máirtín, R6B
On the 26th of February 6th class went on a school tour to the Dáil. We traveled by Luas into the city centre. We disembarked at Dawson Street.
We visited the Seanad. John, the tour guide, answered our questions, such as how to become a politician, how does the government of Ireland work and where do all the TDs sit. We also visited the Lower House but there was no one in sight as a government is currently being formed. We learned where the Ceann Comhairle, the Chief Whip, the Taoiseach and the Opposition sit during debates.
After that we sauntered over to the playground in St Stephen’s Green.
The weather favoured us and the sun shone down brightly upon us. We returned to the school at 2pm. We were on cloud nine after a wonderful day in the Dáil.
