In history under the strand of Politics, Conflict and Society we have studied O’Connell and Parnell. We studied the topics of Catholic Emancipation, the Act of Union, the Land League and the influence these two important men had on such events.
We
all hot seated as either O’Connell or Parnell and had to answer questions
posed by our classmates. It was
great fun.
We
also completed projects on the two historical figures.
These can be seen in the photographs below.
We visited Glasnevin Cemetery to see the tombs of both O’Connell and Parnell. It was a beautiful sunny day and we couldn’t resist taking these photographs
