Brilliant explanation of the Seanad 😂 Topic 2: PolSoc students have to ask themselves: should the Seanad be abolished, reformed or kept the same? Is the Seanad necessary in today’s Ireland? Is it undemocratic?

Dia dhaoibh a chairde, agus tá súil againn go bhfuil sibh ag baint taitnimh as Seachtain na Gaeilge i mbliain seo! Chun comhrá a thosú leis an bpolaitíocht: Cad ba chóir don rialtas a dhéanamh chun Gaeilge a chur chun cinn? Nó b'fhéidir gur cuma leat fúithi? Inis dúinn faoi!
