Last week, the #Oireachtas Parliamentary Education Team hosted the final of the Politics & Society Quiz 2025. Ten Schools progressed to the final & Gorey Community School were the winners. The winning trophy was presented by the Cathaoirleach of Seanad Éireann, Sen. Mark Daly.
Tonight, as part of #CultureNight2025, the Houses of the Oireachtas Parliamentary Education Team are hosting an interactive workshop, ‘Democra-Tea’. Members of the public are invited to share their opinions & explore the theme of 'Engaging with Parliament'. #OícheChultúir
My pleasure @Firhouse_cc Super students and lively discussion. Thanks as always to their @Oide_PolSoc teachers for taking the time to accompany them and indeed all the @POLSOCTeachers for their continued hard work with their students👏👏
✨Thanks to @ConorReale for facilitating the 6th year trip to the Dáil. Students visited both housees of the Oireachtas and had an educational session in the committee rooms. Thank you to Ms Davey and Mr Gadd for bringing the students.✨

Ms Fordes’s 3 Maple held their CSPE Mock Trial.
They’ve been studying democracy from the Oireachtas, the history of public votes to the court system.
Ms Doyle’s 3rd years, Ms Ryan’s 2nd years, Ms Martin, Ms Tisdall & Avril, one of our great SNAs, were there to watch too.
👏
One half of the dynamic duo that had the unenviable task of keeping me on track over the past few years!! Thanks a million @MStynes62 and @JoeOHaraDCU 👏👏
My pleasure @HTAIteachers Always delighted to talk History!! Hopefully the lesson plans, resources and documentaries we mentioned will be of use in your classrooms.
Congratulations to newly minted Dr @ConorReale on the successful defence of his Doctoral thesis - a phenomenological exploration of teachers civic identity. A truly excellent achievement Conor and phenomenally well done 😀 @JoeOHaraDCU @EQI_DCU @OireachtasNews 👍
The doctoral journey comes to a successful end. Thank you @DCU_IoE_PGSR@ppdcuioe @EQI_DCU for everything. Thanks to @SOBIOE for chairing the viva and to examiners Maria Figueiredo and Gerry McNamara. And of course special thanks to my supervisors @JoeOHaraDCU and @MStynes62 👏👏
We were surrounded by history on tour of Leinster House today.
Our students even managed to fit in some time serving on a Dáil Committee while they were there!
We know they’d have great experience of higher-order questioning from school 😉
It was an honour to be invited 👏👏
