Personally, my trip was sponsored by Midlands Regional Drug and Alcohol Task Force and I would like to thank them ever so much. It would have been so easy to put the trip on the back burner and forget all about it after the last difficult two years but we were lucky enough to have travelled to the Parliament even still. I cannot commend everyone involved enough: Martin Heneghan from Graduate.ie, Maria, Seán, Deirdre and their Fine Gael colleagues, Tina, Marie and Aisling who supervised the trip with Martin and of course all those at the Parliament who took the time to speak with us. I hope that students in the future are fortunate enough to be afforded the same opportunity as the 24 of us were and that local organisations and County Councils will continue to invest in young people, giving them brilliant out-of-classroom learning experiences like the trip to Brussels. It is so much more valuable to young people than they realise and again, I would like to thank absolutely everybody involved in making it happen.
