Jack Wall (Kildare South, Labour)

The Ceann Comhairle has initiated an Oireachtas education programme under which members of the Oireachtas staff visit transition year students in schools and introduce a package explaining the operation of the Houses. The official begins by staying with the class for 30 minutes, after which Members attend for an interactive questions and answers session. Could the booklet be included in this package? I do not know whether booklets are available, but it could create interest from an educational perspective. The children could interact with their parents concerning the booklet after going home.
