Government in Action



All three local Dail deputies presented themselves to a group of students in Athy Community College as prt of an Oireachtas workshop which seeks to make government relevant to young people. TD's Jack Wall and Saán Ó Fearghaill and Minister SEán Power fielded questions from an eager bunch of student whohad plenty to ask. The three politicians gave straight answers to sensitive questions on racism and employment and it was a learning experience for all.
