Ms. Kenny described the Irish voting system to 6th Years - the newest generation of voters in the Irish General Election, 25th February 2011.
While most of 6th Years were on the Classics Trip to Rome, the remainder of the 6th Year students, as the newest generation of young Irish voters, were treated to a talk on the voting system by Ms. Kenny on Wednesday, 23rd February.
