6th class boys had an enthralling trip to the Dáil and The Natural History Museum on Thursday 22nd November. They met with Niamh Smyth TD and got a tour of the Dáil and Seanad Éireann. After that, they went to visit The Natural History Museum which proved a big hit! Thanks to Ms Farrell for organising the trip and Mr Tighe, Ms Mc Cartin and Mr Mahon for accompanying them.
