Hi everybody!
Once again, we have to make our apologies for a late post! Keeping a blog up to date is a lot harder than we had first imagined!

| Our meeting with Wexford YFG |
On the 29th December, myself and Rachel visited our home branch - Wexford Young Fine Gael! It was our first meeting outside of Dublin, and the first meeting that was attended by members of the Oireachtas. Deputy Paul Kehoe (TD) and Senator Michael Darcy attended, much to our delight! However, we were also quite nervous. Its one thing to make a presentation to a group of students, its another to make one for senators/TDs. Nevertheless, we packed up our presentation, got in the car, and headed off to the Riverside Hotel, Enniscorthy.
The Vice Chair, Steven Murphy met us inside the door and before we knew it we had completed our presentation and were opening up the floor to discussion. And wow, what a discussion it was!! Having two members of Oireachtas present to contribute to the debate really had an impact! We passed both our motions, and recieved some really useful insights into our presentation from the floor. I think when we were leaving, we both felt that it had been one of our most successful discussions to date!
Thank you so much to everyone in Wexford who accommodated us! Steven chaired the event and did a wonderful job, and Ciaran Allen, LRO, was really helpful in organising the event! A special thanks has to go to Paul Kehoe and Michael Darcy for attending! It was a wonderful evening.
Byee!!!
