The TD gave a wonderful insight into life after school, and how it is okay to not know exactly what you want to do straight away. The students received an encouraging talk on women and their importance in politics. Girls had the opportunity at the end to ask Aisling various questions, ranging from her life in politics to being a mother.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This event was being held as part of Wellbeing Week 2025. Afterwards, the students had an opportunity to relax and catch up with their classmates over a cuppa. Refreshments \u2013 including fair trade tea and coffee were provided by the 5th\u202fyear Wellbeing team, ably led by Ms Geraldine Morris and Inion Ni Anluain.\u202f\u202fFunding for the refreshments was provided by Worldwise Global Schools, who support our efforts to embed a global justice perspective on this annual event in the school\u2019s calendar.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Funding for the event was also provided through Drogheda Credit Union, with Ms Suzanne Gilleece, Branch Manager and herself a past pupil providing support. We are very grateful for Drogheda Credit Union\u2019s assistance in running this year\u2019s event, which proved to be hugely enjoyable for students and staff in attendance.\u202f&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/scoilmhuiretrim.info\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/IMG-20250310-WA0001-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6841\" style=\"width:158px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/scoilmhuiretrim.info\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/IMG-20250310-WA0001-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/scoilmhuiretrim.info\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/IMG-20250310-WA0001-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/scoilmhuiretrim.info\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/IMG-20250310-WA0001-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/scoilmhuiretrim.info\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/IMG-20250310-WA0001.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In celebration of International Women\u2019s Day on Monday, the 10th\u202fof March, the sixth-year students in Scoil Mhuire had the pleasure of being addressed by past pupil and recently elected TD for Meath West , Aisling Dempsey.&nbsp; Aisling was introduced by our Head Girl, S Hayden.
