Mr. James O'Brien:

I agree with Mr. Galvin that law should not necessarily be a subject in and of itself. We should definitely know our constitutional rights and we should know about the legal system. Elements of the legal system can come up in subjects such as history and English specifically. It would come in to civil, social and political education the most, and that curriculum could be changed to teach us about our rights and how the legal system in Ireland works. It would also come into being educated on various tactics or strategies for tackling climate change.

There is a definitely a responsibility on young people and people in general to do individual research on how they feel about it and what they would do about it. If it were part of the curriculum, it would go a long way to ingrain it more into our lives and give us a more active reason to think about it, as opposed to it being an ethereal thing we cannot really grasp.
