5th and 6th visit the Irish UN Veterans Association

The pupils from 5th and 6th Class were very excited last week to be invited to visit the Irish UN Veterans Association in Arbour Hill.  They were given a fascinating tour of  the Arbour Hill Cemetery where the leaders of the 1916 Rising are buried.  After that our guide Stephen showed the class around the veterans garden and the Irish UN Veterans Museum.  Everybody learned some interesting facts about the role of the Irish Army and their peacekeeping duties around the world.
