UCC Students Visit European Parliament
Posted by Alan Kelly on February 10, 2010 at 10:23 PM
This week I had a visit from a group of Law students from across Irish Universities, but in particular UCC and what a lively bunch they were in Strasbourg! The certanly knew how to make the most out of the trip and enjoy themselves while also learning and asking many, many questions. I was delighted to have them there. In particular, it was great to have Declan Walsh, Lecturer in EU Law in UCC accompanying them. Declan has been a friend of mine for many years since my time in Cork and is a great authority on all matters in relation to Europe.
The students visited the Parliament on Wednesday morning (Feb11th) and I hope I gave them a good understanding of how the parliament works, the committee systems, the life of an MEP and the various topical issues. I certainly enjoyed their company and look forward to seeing them back in my old alma mater in the coming months and years.
