Schools lesson plans
We have produced three new lesson plans about the campaign for political rights for women in Ireland.
The lesson plans are for primary, junior cycle and leaving cert levels and are part of our Vótáil 100 commemorations to mark the 100th anniversary of the parliamentary vote for women in Ireland.
Ireland: a parliamentary democracy
Ireland is a parliamentary democracy. The National Parliament (Oireachtas) consists of the President and two Houses: Dáil Éireann (House of Representatives) and Seanad Éireann (the Senate) whose functions and powers derive from the Constitution of Ireland enacted by the people on 1 July 1937. The Houses of the Oireachtas are situated at Leinster House, Dublin.
At the beginning of the century the group in society most deprived of legal rights were women. In most of the world they were deprived of the right to vote and were, by and large, regarded as chattels of their husbands, if married, or of some other male relative, if not.
