The senior classes have been entrenched in politics this week too. They learned all about about the General Election and today there was great excitement as they cast their votes using official polling and ballot cards and the booths. The presiding officers from 6th even requested ID from some voters! After lunch the count took place and the results were as follows:
Spoiled votes 2
Elected were:
Count 1:Declan Breathnach
Peter Fitzpatrick
Count 3: Ruairí Ó Murchú
John McGahon
Mark Dearey
Many thanks to Ms Clarke and her class for organising what was a very worthwhile and enjoyable exercise. We’ll be following the count closely on Sunday now to see who the five candidates elected in Louth will be and ultimately who will be leading our country!
