Tánaiste Simon Harris visits Stratford College
On Friday afternoon, 23rd January, we had the privilege of welcoming Tánaiste Simon Harris to Stratford College. Upon arrival, we met himself and local TD James Geoghegan before Mr. Harris addressed the school. He spoke to us on a matter of issues, including how he became interested in politics, the importance of young people within it, and social media and its mental health implications.
We then ran a Q&A with questions coming directly from the student body, before the Tánaiste spoke separately with Jewish students. In this sobering discussion, the problem of antisemitism was brought up, with the Jewish students bravely sharing their own experiences of it. Photos were then taken at both the school and in Herzog Park before the visit drew to a close. We all enjoyed the Tánaiste's visit; it was a great opportunity to display Stratford at its best and push for government action against antisemitism.
