In a ceremony hosted in the Oireachtas Library reading room, the Institute of Public Administration publication 100 Bliain de Sheanad Éireann 1922-2022 has been launched by the Cathaoirleach of Seanad Éireann.
This book has been produced to commemorate and celebrate the centenary of Seanad Éireann and draws together contributions from current senators and officeholders, a former senator, academics and researchers.
The Cathaoirleach welcomed guests at the event before Dr. Mark Mulreany of the IPA and Dr. Maurice Manning, a former Member, addressed the attendees. The Leas-Chathaoirleach also spoke at the event, which was attended by several former Cathaoirligh.
The publication of this book, which gives the reader a valuable frame of reference on the first 100 years of the Upper House, is the final initiative in a year-long programme of commemoration for the centenary of the first sitting of Seanad Éireann.
