The ARG Group were invited for a tour of Leinster House by Neasa Hourigan. The Group were greeted by 2 Oireachtas Guides who guided us through the full history of Leinster House and its historical ownership.
Included in the tour was a visit to the Oireachtas Viewing Gallery. The Guide explained to the Group where the elected Government seats are situated. He then showed the group where the Opposition seats are in relation to this.
The Group also visited the Seanad. An explanation of the rules and regulations of the Seanad was provided as well as its guiding principles. Our Guide also told the Group how members are elected to the Seanad.
The tour also included a viewing gallery of portraits of past Taoisigh. On a separate wall a selection of portraits of influential women have recently been included.
To finish the tour the Group were invited to a cup of tea in the Dail coffee shop by Neasa. A thoroughly enjoyable tour was had by all.

The group went on a tour of the Freemason’s. The Freemason’s Hall is on Molesworth St and is the only purpose-built Masonic meeting place in Dublin. It was the first permanent home of the Freemasonry in Ireland.
The group visited a variety of rooms which were decorated in different styles e.g. Egyptian and Middle Eastern. The tour guide explained the variety of rituals performed in each room during their meetings.
The group found the tour very informative and interesting and the tour guide was a fount of knowledge. Unfortunately, the lift is currently broken and the tour itself involves a lot of steps which some of the group found difficult.
A truly wonderful exotic building well worth a visit. There is a coffee shop on the ground floor which is open most days which may be worth another visit on a different occasion.

The ARG have been getting their creative juices moving and produced a lovely poem reflecting on stages of life.
Child
I saw a child,
A spoilt child,
Playing games,
Having fun,
Girls wearing pink,
Boys wearing blue,Then that child at 16,
Who loved to dance,
She danced in the dark,
With no trouble at the door,Growing up like her big sister,
with money in her pocket,
And a big adult job,
She put on her make up,
And her Jimmy Choo shoes,Suddenly she dancing in the dark,
But she is no longer alone,
Her hands are held tightly,
She is hearing lullabies in her ear,But it’s time for me to grow up,
Soon I will be a mother myself,
With tiny feet kicking inside,
I wonder when will you be born?But it’s time to grow up again,
Now that I’m a grandmother,I’m minding the grand children,
We are visiting the Zoo and chasing,
Imaginary animals in the street,
They are wearing their superhero t-shirts,
And I’m the big bad wolf.
