On Tuesday, 31st January 2012, class 3D invited Garda Sean Tully into their class as part of their C.S.P.E. Action Project on Law. Many jobs had to be done by the students in the class. The Garda was first contacted by Philip Brennan, Christopher Doherty and Lee McLaughlin. He was also sent a letter from Colleen Doherty and Shannon Doherty on behalf of 3D. The Principal was contacted about the invitation by Sarah Griffin and Katie Friel. The venue was booked and set up by Charlie Doherty, Darren Doherty and Evan O'Brien. Light refreshments were organised with the canteen staff by Ben Lafferty, Tommy Byrne and Aaron Gibbons. Posters were put up around the school advertising the talk with Garda Tully, drawn by the most artistic people in our class - Katie Friel, Grace Conner and Luke McColgan.
