Homework for visiting school
The Acting Chair welcomed another visiting school and repeated the light-hearted suggestion that the pupils should get no homework for the rest of the week.
Before I call the next Senator, I welcome the sixth class students of Dulargy Mixed National School, Ravensdale, County Louth who are visiting Seanad Éireann today. Senator McGahon spoke to me earlier and proposed that there should be no homework for the rest of the week. I would like to support that proposal. I hope that the teachers, Alison Matthews and Eimear McGuinness, will abide by the Senator’s wishes. They are all most welcome today. We are trying to get support from every possible angle here today but one school at a time is the way we will approach this one. I call Senator Boylan.
