Litir ó na hEagraithe
A chairde,
Seo é am na forbartha! Tá cead dá thabhairt againn do mhic léinn Idir-Bhliana páirt a ghlacadh I gComórtas Aiste an Oireachtais. Tugtar cuireadh do mhic léinn na Sraithe Sineasraí (An Idir-Bhliain, an 5ú Bliain agus an 6ú Bliain) chomh maith le mic léinn Ard-Fho-Theastais agus mic léinn Ard-Leibhéil páirt a ghlacadh ann.
Sa mbliain 2025 comórfar breith ‘an Fhuascaltóra’ Dónall Ó Conaill 250 bliain ó shin: parlaiminteoir, dlíodóir, seaimpín na cosmhuintire agus na sclábhaithe – agus Éireannach a bhain cáil idirnáisiúnta amach mar Státaire. Níl duine is fearr a spreagfadh aistí den chéad scoth ar acmhainn na parlaiminte ar leas an phobail a dhéanamh ná an Conallach. Is é an téama atá roghnaithe i gcomhair an Chomórtais i mbliana: ‘An tSaoirse agus an Pholaitíocht Pharlaiminteach’
Le gach dea-ghuí,
Seán Ó Fearghaíl TD,
Ceann Comhairle
