On Tuesday 20th April 2010 my Personal Assistant (Lindsey) and I were invited to Leinster House to meet with Michael Ring.
We traveled that morning from Westport in Co. Mayo to Heuston Station, Dublin by train and got a 90c wheelchair accessible bus to the gates of Leinster House.
When we had checked in at the main gates we were ushered to the main entrance. We were then greeted by our tour guide who gave us handouts to read and guided us around the building.
The first place went to see was the Dail Eireann where our elected TD’s meet to discuss matters. From there we were taken to Seanad Eireann, where our elected Senators meet. We were then taken a tour of the building of Leinster House and we were told about the history of the building and all the great world leaders that have addressed our TD’s.
After our tour we were greeted by Michael Ring TD and John O’Mahoney TD for refreshments and photos in the members bar. Deirdre Chambers (Advisor for Fine Gael) also joined us.
On the way out we visited the gift shop to purchase some souvenirs to remind us of our visit. As my P.A. is Scottish she was impressed by the history of the building and enjoyed the day.
